My son is Christmas-obsessed (I mean, the whole family is really) - and last year around Christmas time I was really struggling to find holiday books that he enjoyed that also featured children of color. We've always loved Corduroy, a children's classic about a stuffed bear who's dreams of a family come true when he is taken home by a black girl named Lisa. So I was thrilled to stumble onto A Christmas Wish for Corduroy in the library last week - the book mostly focuses on Corduroy's search for clothes (he ultimately finds his famous green corduroys in Santa's workshop), but at the end of the story Lisa and her mother first encounter him on the shelf - this establishing this book as a prequel to Corduroy. Both books together would make a lovely gift!
