How Six Found Christmas

本書為 Caldecott Medalist Trina Schart Hyman 經典聖誕作品的新版本。故事從一位從未聽過聖誕節的小女孩出發，她走進大雪覆蓋的森林，想弄清楚「Christmas 是什麼」。在旅途中，她陸續遇見貓、獵犬、老鷹、狐狸與夜鶯，這群性格各異的動物，陪伴她在林間前行。

動物們各自提出不同的疑問：聖誕節是溫暖的嗎？安靜的嗎？會不會發出聲音？在雪花緩緩落下的森林裡，他們逐漸發現，答案並不來自某個具體的事物，而是一種感受與狀態。本書以沉靜的敘事與層次豐富的畫面，引導讀者思考節日的真正意義，是一本適合在冬季反覆翻閱的經典故事。

Once upon a time there was a little girl who had never heard of Christmas and therefore did not know what it was. So she sets off into the snowy woods in search of it, gathering a memorable troupe of animal companions along the way: a curious cat, a sad-faced hound, a regal hawk, a wise old fox, and an amusing nightingale.

Each of her companions has questions: What does Christmas feel like? Is it comfortable and warm? What does it sound like? Does it laugh? Does it shriek? But beneath the gently falling snow, they discover a different answer to their questions than expected: Christmas is how Christmas feels.

A timeless classic, this stunning reissue of Caldecott Medalist Trina Schart Hyman's gentle, introspective holiday tale, leaves readers with the greatest Christmas story of all: that Christmas is not only where you find it; it's what you make of it.
