The holidays are filled with joyful noise. But Christmas is sometimes wrapped in quiet: ?Searching for presents quiet,? ?Getting caught quiet,? and ?Hoping for a snow day quiet.? Irresistibly cute, soft colored pencil illustrations of bunnies, bears, and more paint a magical holiday picture indeed.
