About the Author
Clement C. Moore was a scholar and author living in New York in the late 18th and 19th centuries. His poem "A Visit from St. Nicholas" (also known as "'Twas the Night Before Christmas"), which he wrote for his own children, was originally published anonymously in 1823 but became an enduring part of Christmas traditions.
Loren Long is the author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling Otis picture book series, now an animated television series on Apple+. He's also the illustrator of the #1 New York Times bestsellers Of Thee I Sing by Barack Obama, Love by Matt de la Peña, and Change Sings by Presidential Inaugural Poet Amanda Gorman. He lives near Cincinnati, Ohio, with his wife and rescue dog, Charlie.
Reviews

"A visual treatment of an old poem that's both nostalgic and fresh...Bring this one ho-ho-home. " -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Readers see a diverse quartet of families asleep in their beds on Christmas Eve and view Santa soaring through the sky to deliver presents to each abode. The eclectic architecture, décor, holiday decorations, family configurations, and pet menageries shape a welcoming and inclusive portrait of Christmas Eve peace, wonder, and anticipation. -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Long's inclusive take on Moore's poem focuses on four different families in four diverse dwellings....Details in the warm and expansive acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations clearly delineate each setting as well as draw viewers in and keep them riveted. -- Horn Book (starred review)
