Synopsis "The Night Before Christmas "

A perfect stocking-stuffer edition of a beloved Christmas classic, from the creator of Strega Nona and Quiet. With warm colors and cozy art, award-winning artist Tomie dePaola brings the beloved holiday poem to life. Detailed decorations and family portraits hang on the walls of a turn of the 19th century New England home as the family sleeps, snuggled into cozy geometric quilts--until the clatter of little hooves on the roof wakes them. Rosy-cheeked St. Nicholas appears, filling the stockings with dolls and blocks, toy animals and candy canes, before taking off over the snow-capped hills in his sleigh. Framed by borders inspired by traditional New England quilts, the warm illustrations are full of cheerful details kids will love to pore over. Called a shareable Christmas treasure in a Booklist starred review, The Night Before Christmas was Tomie dePaola's 100th book when it was originally published. A family favorite for more than thirty years, this beautiful rendition of a Christmas favorite is still a perfect read-aloud for snowy nights--and now, a perfect board book stocking stuffer, in just the right size for young readers to enjoy.

Clement Clarke Moore (1779-1863) fue un erudito bíblico, profesor y poeta estadounidense, conocido principalmente por escribir el icónico poema navideño "Una visita de San Nicolás" (o "La Noche antes de Navidad"), que popularizó la imagen moderna de Santa Claus, nombrando a sus renos y describiendo su trineo. Nacido en Nueva York, educado en Columbia College, fue profesor en el Seminario Teológico General y también un promotor inmobiliario que influyó en el desarrollo de Greenwich Village.
