Favorite Holiday Stories

There are so many wonderful stories to read together at the holidays. The ones that I love share a deeper meaning of different holiday traditions and provide magical illustration to tell their story. Here are some of my favorites:

The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg
The Trees of the Dancing Goats by Patricia Polacco
Night Tree by Eve Bunting
How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss
Santa's Book of Names by David McPhail
The Best Eid Ever by Asma Mobin-Uddin

For some more inspiration, read this article in School Library Journal, with holiday memories by favorite authors. Comment with your family's favorite holiday reads!
