Holiday books for kids

A bit off the Austen track... I have a review in yesterday's Washington Post Book World, of kids' holiday books with religious themes. (I didn't realize it was going to come out yesterday until a friend saw it and called me to congratulate me. As a writer, sometimes you're the last to know...) Thought you might enjoy seeing it. One of my new Christmas favorites for small children is What Star is This? by Joseph Slate with gorgeous folk-art-ish illustrations by Alison Jay.

Also coming soon (hopefully), an article on C.S. Lewis and the theological value of imagination. Will link to that as well.
