Christmas Is Awesome! (A Hello!Lucky Book)

October 7, 2019
Riffing off the prompt “Christmas is,” the sisters Moyle—the creative team behind letterpress studio Hello!Lucky—jubilantly show Christmas to be seriously awesome in their latest board book. With neon pink accents, energetic scenes burst with holiday merrymaking. A motley crew of animals enjoy “falling snow” with sledding and snow creatures, while a sweater-clad dachshund takes advantage of “mistletoe” by giving a cat’s cheek a long-tongued lick. Even a lump of coal gets in on the fun, knitting an “ugly sweater” from “darkest black abyss” yarn. Other humorous touches appear throughout, including a nativity scene featuring two birds as Mary and Joseph and an egg as the infant Jesus. The duo brightly conclude with an invitation that’s perfectly on-brand: “Joy and kindness, love and fun... Christmas is for everyone!” Ages up to 3.
