All the Colors of Christmas
Description
In his trademark style, Matthew Paul Turner celebrates the Christmas season, particularly the colors that infuse the holiday and all the memorable sensations and experiences—including a festive market, sledding, and nativity scene—connected to those bright hues. Matthew draws his readers into a whirling ribbon of the familiar reds and greens of Christmas, as well as other festive hues, including white, gold, blue, and brown.
Christmas is RED.
It's a bright shiny sled.
It's candy canes,
and toy store lanes.
It's sprinkles on sweet bread.
Christmas is BROWN
It’s pinecones scattered round…
It’s a cradle soft with hay
And a donkey’s gentle bray.
It’s God within
a baby’s skin
on that very first Christmas Day.
All the colors come together when readers are reminded that Christmas is YOU—you’re a part of the story, the joy and the glory! Matthew shows us again and again that the holidays are nothing without being with the people we love, celebrating treasured traditions, and making new memories—all in vivid color.Matthew Paul Turner is a photographer, speaker, and author of numerous books, including the bestselling When God Made You and When I Pray for You.
Gillian Gamble is the writer and illustrator of Darcy Daydream, amongst others, living in County Durham with her two young daughters.
Christmas is red.
It’s a bright, shiny sled.
It’s candy canes.
and toy-store lanes.
It’s sprinkles on sweetbread.
It’s packages with bows
and Rudolph’s bright red nose.
It’s pictures drawn
and dressed-up lawns.
It’s warm mittens when it snows.
It’s the drummer boy’s drum,
his “pah rum-pah-pum pum.”
It’s Santa Claus
and cranberry sauce.
It’s apples, pears, and plums.
It’s presents that we send
to family and to friends.
It’s jolly cards
and merry hearts.
Yes, Christmas is red.
