Review:
For those who cringe at the creeping materialism surrounding Christmas, a pious story about the origins of the candy cane is definitely a change of pace. A stranger arrives in town one dreary November and begins hammering and sawing away at his newly rented storefront. When a small girl offers her help, she's in for a childhood fantasy-come-true, as it turns out all the shelves and counters are being built for a candy shop. After offering young Lucy gumdrops and lollipops, Mr. Sonneman launches into the history of the candy cane. With his guidance, she discovers that the upturned candy is in the shape of a j--for Jesus. Right side up it looks like a shepherd's staff. And the red stripes? The blood of Christ from his terrible whipping. Lucy and Mr. Sonneman set out on a quest to share this story with everyone in town. Their message (and their gift of the pepperminty red-and-white sticks) brings the whole town together in a joyful celebration of Christmas (and candy).

James Bernardin's old-timey acrylic and colored pencil illustrations are reminiscent of Norman Rockwell, but depict both modern and biblical times. Candy canes will never taste quite the same again. (Ages 6 to 9) --Emilie Coulter

From the Author:

In 1995, she was awarded a Jerusalem International Book Fair editorial fellowship. She now divides her time between her hometown of Grand Rapids and her favorite place in the world, Grand Haven, Michigan.

James Bernardin graduated from the Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California, and was awarded a Certificate of Merit from the Society of Illustrators. Among the books he has illustrated are Little Folk: Stories from Around the World and Dancing with the Wind. He lives with his wife in Seattle, Washingto
