Snowflake Kisses and Gingerbread Smiles, by Toni Trent Parker

Immediately upon finding this gem at the public library my son proclaimed this "the REAL Christmas book!"  It's very short, 7 pages of text and 7 accompanying pictures of black children posed in festive outfits with presents or toys, but wonderfully representative and a quick, fun read.

The author, Toni Trent Parker, was apparently a big advocate of black children's literature.  We'll definitely be requesting other books she has authored, which seem to focus on holidays, such as Easter and Halloween.
