I'm Dreaming of a Brown Christmas" is a beautiful re-imagining of the classic song "White Christmas", but as seen through the eyes of a young African-American child living in the city. Written and illustrated by cousins Steven T. Gray and Vernon D. Gibbs II, the words and images celebrate many of the wonderful brown things we all enjoy at Christmastime like fresh-baked cookies, warm cups of hot chocolate, and a golden brown turkey hot from the oven. But most importantly, this book celebrates the many shades of brown skin the young child sees on the faces of his family and friends. We hope that reading "I'm Dreaming of a Brown Christmas" will become a new holiday tradition for you, and the ones you hold dear for many years to come.
