Review
Praise for The Spirit of Christmas:
"Tillman (On the Night You Were Born) expertly swirls together reality and fantasy--the narrator's child delights in the sight of the decorated tree, the lion lies down with the lamb--as is fitting for such a magical night."—Shelf-Awareness
“Handsomely illustrated, this Christmas book is bound to be hyped as the perfect seasonal gift. …Tillman’s sentimental sensibility and beautiful artwork ensure that this will become a popular choice at holiday time.”—Booklist
“A beautiful and timeless book.”—School Library Journal
“As the adult speaker of the story nods off in a comfy red chair, the Spirit of Christmas appears, ready to get the narrator in the holiday spirit. What follows is a buoyant, imagistic tribute to the season, as the Spirit lists joys both and intangible, before offering the reminder: ‘Because it took nothing but love to begin it,/ it's not really Christmas if love isn't in it.’ Tillman's ethereal illustrations are surreal but captivating.”—Publishers Weekly
“Bestselling author Tillman offers a dreamlike interpretation of the collective spirit that permeates the holiday.”—Kirkus Reviews
Praise for Nancy Tillman:
“As in On the Night You Were Born, the words directly address a young listener with comforting, fanciful imagery . . . Culminating in a final scene of a sleeping child in a floating bed under a watchful moon, this gentle, tender offering will buoy children with its strong messages of safety and love.”—Booklist, for It’s Time to Sleep, My Love
“A luxuriant bedtime retreat for children and parents alike.”—Kirkus Reviews, for It’s Time to Sleep, My Love

“A beautiful tribute to the uniqueness of every child.”—Kirkus Reviews, for On the Night You Were Born
