'Twas the Night Before Christmas

In 1823, clergyman Clement Clarke Moore, from upstate New York, captured the imagination of the entire nation with his delightful, rhymed description of red-suited Santa Claus and his reindeer-drawn sleigh. This newly-illustrated Christmas book introduces a "mouse" character, great for toddlers, playing off the reference that "not even a mouse" would stir on the magical night before the children's favorite holiday. Author Sally M. Veillette was inspired to create this book in multiple languages, even bilingual versions, to share Moore's magic with kids around the world.
