Although Ann Estelle focuses on her wish list as Christmas approaches, her best memories have little to do with the presents she receives.Tags

A cute Christmas story by an artist whose cards and household items I much admire, but her storytelling talents aren't quite the equal of her charming artistry. Nevertheless, this is a decent story about young Ann Estelle, busy working on her List (she is, after all, the Queen of Christmas), who learns a lesson about what might be more important than getting presents.
This story is about a little girl who writes a very long Christmas list. She realizes that even without getting everything she wanted, she was still happy. “It’s not just the presents that matter,” she says to her parents. This is a great Christmas picture book.

Mary Engelbreit had her first success as an illustrator of greeting cards in the late 1970s. She formed her own greeting card company in early 1980s after becoming impatient with the process of working in the greeting card industry as an independent contractor. Engelbreit's style depicts simple scenes in intricate detail, with amusing quotes to show more distinguish them. Successful in greeting cards, her business soon expanded to include Engelbreit's popular art on tee shirts, mugs, calendars and gift books, to name a few. Engelbreit has also published many books illustrating crafts such as quilting and decorating. In 1993 she illustrated The Snow Queen by Hans Christen Andersen, fulfilling a lifelong dream of being an illustrator of children's books. Mary Engelbreit was born in 1952 in St. Louis, where she lives today. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
