The year 1940 is a very big year for Tomie-it's the start of first grade, and it's his first birthday in the new house at 26 Fairmount Avenue. It's also the first year that Tomie gets to go trick-or-treating with his older brother, Buddy. Then the holidays arrive, and Tomie has a part in the Christmas play. This Christmas is going to be great! But disaster strikes when Tomie gets the chicken pox. Will he be cured in time for the Christmas pageant? Join Tomie dePaola once again as he takes us back to his childhood and allows us to share the holiday season with his family and friends.

Tomie dePaola is one of the best-known and best-loved author/illustrators creating books for children today. He is the recipient of a Caldecott Honor, the Regina Medal, and for 26 Fairmount Avenune, a Newbery Honor. He lives in New London, New Hampshire, with his four Welsh terriers.
