“The Days After Christmas” by Maggie C. Rudd; illustrated by Elisa Chavarri
Review by John Mullarkey, youth services library assistant at the Hillsborough Library This title is very unique as it captures the mixed feelings that take place with families AFTER the excitement and fun of Christmas. There are few if any books like this. In a very upbeat and sweet manner author Maggie Rudd and illustrator Elisa Chavarri show readers the many joys of winter and winter activities: playing outside, spending time with friends and family, planning the next celebration (New Year's and Valentines Day) and  most notably the making of birdseed ornaments to hang outside (directions are included).  Yes, taking down the tree; putting away decorations; and even cleaning up the house after holiday guests leave does come with a sense of disappointment, but this cheery and colorful book shows us that there is plenty to be positive about and activities to look forward to in the upcoming year, after the holiday season.
