The poems, carols, stories, and recipes in Take Joy! were edited and illustrated in full colour by Tasha Tudor, the famous American children’s book artist. With a love of nature and animals and an emotional warmth to her work, Tudor is known both for illustrating her own picture books and classics such as Mother Goose. A lovely Christmas collection.
