Winter break is right around the corner, but before school lets out, why not take this opportunity to get students thinking about the many holidays and traditions that occur in December and January? To help, we’ve found 15 recently-released books that look at a number of different winter festivities. The list includes plenty of books for young readers, along with a few options to share with older readers as well. Happy holidays!
