Amazing Peace

If you happen to have a poem lying around, maybe one that you read at the White House, consider submitting it to a picture book publisher!

Amazing Peace, written by Maya Angelou, illustrated by Steve Johnson, is a wonderful addition to the Christmas picture books on the shelves this season.

Maya Angelou originally read this poem at the lighting of the White House Christmas tree in 2005. It's an amazing poem about peace, coming together and acceptance during the holidays. The warm, inviting illustrations follow a family as they journey out into their community on a cold winter's night. A new, must-have Christmas book, in my opinion.
