Nicely illustrated by J. elise Kraveanek, Holly The Christmas Colllie is author Mellisa Draper's debut children's picturebook written for 2nd through 4th grade young readers. The text is involved enough to stimulate a child's reading ability more than most picturebooks. The story, based on true events, tells of a young puppy struggling to find its place among a new family. Simple, sketchy color illustrations add a heartwarming touch to this delightful storybook, which resonates with Christmas spirit all year round.
