School Library Journal is a go-to review source for teachers and librarians. So when a book gets a review in SLJ, an educator can know with confidence the book is a quality read. So I’m happy to know that SLJ has given my new holiday picture book, The Family Santa Almost Forgot a stellar review in their September, 2023 issue.   The review is a wonderfully complete synopsis of the story with a few prime comments. Some of the comments I like best are:

A multicultural spin on Clement C. Moore’s “A Visit From St. Nicholas”

and

A new take on a Christmas classic that is sure to make a merry read-aloud.

The review also praises the illustrations by Christian Paniagua, which are bright, beautiful, and magical. Here are a couple:
