 Anna’s
great-aunt Olga has collected Christmas
postcards all her life. She’s
ninety-five, and many of the cards are
very old. The holidays are the perfect
time for Aunt Olga to share her postcards
and her memories with her favorite niece.
Decked out in red, Aunt Olga is ready
for fun as she teaches Anna how to write
her very own Christmas rhymes. Written
with warmth and humor, this lovely story
is a perfect starting point for discussions
of the "olden days", as well
as a charming introduction to the joys
of collecting.

From Publishers Weekly
Young Anna finds that nothing goes better with tea and gingerbread cookies
than nonagenarian Aunt Olga's tales of being a poet - and professional
postcard-greeting writer - long ago. Readers may well agree as they peruse
the stellar collection of vintage holiday postcards and spirited verses
that decorate these pages. Though Major's (The House of Wooden Santas
) story meanders too much, the nostalgic tone and sweet intergenerational
theme will win fans. Roberts's breezy pen-and-ink and watercolor-wash
spot art makes an attractive contrast to the antique images. Ages 4-up.
