"Jan Brett’s illustrations are plump, whimsical and full of the sort of feather-by-feather detail that makes you want to pat the turtledoves, bite into the pears and bury your nose in the boughs of the Christmas trees that flank the margins.A warm book to the touch." —The New York Times Book Review

“A festive interpretation of the traditional holiday favorite. . . A beautifully executed visual feast.” —Booklist (starred review)
 
“Striking and opulent.” —School Library Journal
With more than 42 million books in print, Jan Brett is one of the nation’s foremost illustrators of children’s books.  As a child, she decided to be an illustrator and spent much of her time reading and drawing. As a student at the Boston Museum School, Jan spent many hours in the Museum of Fine Arts. Travel is also a constant inspiration, so with her husband, Joe Hearne, who is a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, she visits many different countries where she researches the architecture and costumes that appear in her work. Jan lives in a seacoast town in Massachusetts.
