The Christmas Giant by Steve Light

Candlewick Press, 2010, first edition, first printing, oversized picture book, Mint copy in New dustjacket as issued.

Packed with delightful and humorous touches, Light’s holiday story introduces Humphrey, a giant, and Leetree, a tiny elf, who are responsible for making Santa’s wrapping paper (Leetree rides a tricycle across one roll to give it purple stripes). When Santa asks them to grow a special Christmas tree, they show off their respective talents (moving big rocks, pulling tiny weeds) and their ingenuity when the tree meets with an accident. Besides being a refreshingly original addition to the Christmas canon, Light’s story demonstrates that, big or small, everyone has gifts to offer—any time of year. Ages 3–6.
