I bought this book for my niece at the World Tea Expo in Las Vegas in May 2008. The author, Babette Donaldson,was there, and graciously autographed a copy for me. My niece read the book to me on the same day I gave it to her. She really liked it. I will also be buying some more of her books in the future.

Emily and I read this book for reading class. She had a great time reading it and we talked about family traditions afterwards. This book is a great way to introducing kids to traditions.
