School Library Journal - 09/01/2025 PreS-Gr 1—A rhyming picture book perfect for celebrating the Christmas season. "Family can mean many things. Your relatives! Your friends!" Families can be big or small, or near or far. The book introduces words like family and "I love you" in multiple languages and asks readers if they can feel the Christmas spirit on multiple pages. A visit from Santa concludes the story. Illustrations are warm and comforting and have lots of fun details for readers to discover. For example, the authors are pictured throughout. Back matter includes the lyrics for a new song about the Christmas season, "Fa La La Family," from which the text of the book comes, and the accompanying sheet music. VERDICT A fun and festive dive into Christmas celebrations with diverse families. Recommended for all libraries, especially where the authors' other book is popular.—Kristin Anderson - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
