A Very Mercy Christmas

 

For fans of Mercy Watson, both classic and current, enjoy a cheerful chorus of beloved characters in a picture book that celebrates the small miracles that the holidays bring. Mercy ornament included!Stella Endicott was filled with delight. She felt something magical could take place. She wanted to belt out a carol. When Stella gets the silly idea to sing Christmas songs, she has difficulty recruiting a friend. Her brother, Frank, isn’t one for stepping out of his comfort zone. The Watsons are busy attempting a tricky fruitcake (but willing to send their pig out). Eugenia Lincoln shoots Stella down—in an unceremonious fashion—when asked to join on the accordion, and Horace Broom is occupied analyzing the orbits of planets. Will Stella have to sing solo—with enthusiastic accompaniment from the pig, cat, and horse she meets along the way? Or is something unexpected awaiting her? Kate DiCamillo and Chris Van Dusen
