The Hickory Stick Bookshop welcomes local author Emily Gervasio, who will be here on Saturday, December 13th at 3 pm to sign copies of her new book, “Little Honey Loves Christmas”.
ABOUT THE BOOK
“Little Honey Loves Christmas” is a joyful rhyming picture book that captures the wonder of the holiday season. With playful verses and festive illustrations, this story takes readers through beloved Christmas traditions: baking cookies, trimming the tree, singing carols, exchanging gifts, and snuggling up in cozy pajamas.
From elves making magic overnight to stockings hung with care, “Little Honey Loves Christmas” celebrates the excitement of the season while reminding children and families that the greatest gift of all is love.
Perfect for bedtime during the holidays or as a seasonal read-aloud, this book makes a delightful Christmas gift for toddlers, preschoolers, and early readers. Parents and caregivers will appreciate the gentle reminder that holiday joy is found not only in presents, but in shared moments of warmth, kindness, and family connection.
