Easy to read and lots of fun!” – Avery Lieske, 3rd grade teacher“Why We Celebrate Christmas is the perfect little book that teaches the history and traditions of Christmas. The recipes and activities will help you get into the spirit of Christmas and delight children of all ages. The illustrations are adorable. I highly recommend this sweet book to educators and parents.” – Annie McDaniel, owner of Miss Annie’s Educational Adventures & Miss Annie’s Home + Kitchen“Sarah Cooley covers cultures and traditions at Christmas in this book like no other. It will be a wonderful resource for children and families as they celebrate Christmas in their homes and with others through the years. I especially love the recipes and craft ideas!” – Jessica Hamby, founder, Itty Bitty Bakers“Sarah Cooley has written an adorable and incredibly thorough book about Christmas. She seamlessly mixes together unique facts, history, and Christmas-themed activities for children. I found the history behind the Christmas traditions fascinating. Who knew Christmas cards were invented as a time saver? This book would be perfect to read to your children or students around Christmastime. The book would also serve as an exemplary mentor text for a classroom writing unit focusing on ‘all about books.’ Sarah’s book includes a table of contents, headings, bold print vocabulary words, recipes, a glossary, an index, and more! Check this book out. You won’t be disappointed.” – Erica Bohrer Blasi, 1st teacher, blogger, and author
