A companion to One Morning and One Evening , this understated picture book shares the quiet grace and drama of those volumes. Richly colored and delicately balanced illustrations set off exquisitely spare text: the images are often truncated, with faces or the letters of signs unapologetically omitted; similarly, the story is relayed through poetically fragmented phrases. A young man receives a Christmas card: " 'Come home, my dear.' " He wanders through empty city streets, the illustrations imply, hearing "Christmas songs from everywhere." A few sepia-colored pictures hint at his childhood memories; then he chooses a present, packs up his cat and boards a train. He alights at his hometown ("just as I remember") in time to celebrate the holiday with friends and family. Radiant, lyrical, suggestive, both story and artwork are distinguished by an elegant simplicity. Ages 3-up.
