Description
One Christmas in Lunenburg presents a classic folktale in a contemporary setting, told in a way that will appeal to young readers.
As Christmas draws closer, siblings Rachel and Nathan are caught up in the excitement of the season. Amy Bennet’s story embraces sign language as Rachel and Nathan ask the adults in their life about the old story of animals speaking on Christmas eve.
Award-winning painter Don Kilby’s illustrations capture the magic of the heritage town of Lunenburg and its signature mingling of the old and new. Kilby’s oil paintings and Bennet’s words bring Rachel and Nathan to life as they experience some Christmas magic of their own.
About the authors
Don Kilby's unique vision of rural life stems partly from the time he spent on the prairie and partly from the myriad jobs he has held including lumberjack, steelworker, paperboy and graphic artist. His paintings capture the detail and shifting moods of the landscape and its inhabitants. Don illustrated Name of the Child and The Prairie Fire, both written by Marilynn Reynolds. The Prairie Fire was nominated for the CLA Book of the Year Award and chosen for the American Bookseller Association's prestigious Pick of the Lists. Don lives in Eden Mills, Ontario.
