Book Guide

Here is Everett Anderson, back again and joyful at a very special time of year. It's made out of secret smiles, and snow falling past the windows of Apt. #14A, and a tree that comes by elevator.

Lucille Clifton has written the poems and Evaline Ness has drawn the pictures, but mostly it is Everett Anderson who explains what the season is all about:

     14A
     is up so high
     our Christmas bounces
     off the sky
     and shines on all
     the downer ones,
     Merry Christmas to them
     says Mama
     Merry Christmas from me
     says Everett Anderson.
