A CHILD’S CHRISTMAS IN BROOKLYN, a deceptively dainty little literary morsel, puts Christmas in its proper place in the consciousness of Christmas Italiana, while simultaneously reinvigorating refined literature. The book is crafted as much in its lyric as it is in its appearance which is no mean feat considering the rich watercolor illustrations that evoke many of the scenes described. The narrative slips gracefully from prose poem to comedic scene—not over-precious, but true to the awes of childhood. The book is not afraid to uplift, even in the midst of the sometimes dreary world of adults, the spiritual reality that most children learn to write off as "innocence" to be lost.
