Items related to Christmas Makes Me Think
The young narrator of Christmas Makes Me Think is thrilled with the holiday's prospects: the presents he's wishing for, the big tree he's hoping to get, the cake he'll bake with his grandmother. But he begins to wonder. What about the people who don't get presents, or don't even have a place to live? He soon realizes that he can make a difference by giving some of his presents to kids who have none. Chandra Cox's bright collage art adds beauty to Tony Medina's thoughtful message about community and caring.

About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Tony Medina is the author of six beloved books for young readers, as well as multiple volumes of poetry for adults. A Pushcart Prize-nominated poet and a professor of creative writing at Howard University, Dr. Medina is a two-time winner of the Paterson Prize for Books for Young People. He lives in the Washington, DC area.
K-Gr 2-The holiday wouldn't be complete without a little dose of morality to offset the avariciousness of the season. This well-intentioned story's young narrator considers aspects of Christmas such as baking a cake with Grandma and "presents piled to the moon." Then he thinks of "all those trees that never make it to the next Christmas" and considers "how much better it would be-[to] visit a turkey or a pig-instead of eating one-." By sharing with the homeless and poor, he says, youngsters could become "new Santas." Flat collage illustrations combine cut paper, paint, and colored pencil. A list of "resources for kids who want to get more involved" in community projects is included. More lesson than story, the book may be appreciated more by parents and religious leaders than by kids themselves.-S. P.
