My Wonderful Christmas Tree by Dahlov Ipcar

From the snowy, wintery window of her art studio, Dahlov Ipcar sees a wild and wondrous world. With vivid imagination and vibrant colors, she captures a lively part of the Christmas season at her farm in Maine. From one shining star that graces the top of a living outdoor tree, she envisions many captivating creatures of the field and forest that come to visit. From young black bears to snowy owls, from evening grosbeaks to happy chipmunks, this book presents a lively panorama of wild creatures she has seen and enjoyed. My Wonderful Christmas Tree by the legendary Dahlov Ipcar is a holiday classic that conveys the feeling of the Christmas season outdoors in New England.

Dahlov Ipcar, a Maine artist with a career spanning more than three-quarters of a century, has written and drawn more than thirty children's and young adult novels, beginning with Margaret Wise Brown's The Little Fisherman in 1945 and including The Cat at Night, Hardscrabble Harvest, and My Beautiful Christmas Tree. Her original and distinctively modern style influenced how artwork is used in children's literature. She was born in Vermont in 1917 and grew up in New York City. In 1923, Ipcar's parents, sculptor William Zorach and artist Marguerite Zorach, purchased a farm on Georgetown Island, where she first summered until moving with her husband Adolph in 1937. She continues to live on the farm and paint practically every day. Dahlov Ipcar's Farmyard Alphabet, a board book with fresh text and drawings drawn from eleven of her previously published books, was published in 2010 and was her first new book in more than twenty years.
