Author Description

Just in time for the holidays, Savor Sweet Christmas by Ann Cogswell offers 31 of the author s elegant, enchanting poems on seasonal themes from angel's wings and the manger scene to 'puddings and pastries of allspice and clove/And gingerbread boys taking shape in the stove.' Each poem speaks to a treasured facet of Christmas, reflecting the grace and rhythms of the winter season. Vibrant tole-style artwork adorns the dust jacket, beautifully echoed in softer tones on interior pages. Several poems are complemented by color photographs, also by Ann Cogswell. Readers young and old are sure to find delight in Cogswell's invitation to 'Savor Sweet Christmas with winter-white roses/With church-bells and sleigh bells and frosted pink noses.'
