I Got the Christmas Spirit by Connie Schofield-Morrison

This book would make a great read aloud and is well-suited for primary age students grades Pre-k through 2nd. A young African American girl with deep brown skin, round cheeks, and an infectious smile spends her first day of school celebrating spirit in many ways. I will certainly plan to add this to my K-5 library collection and look forward to reading it with my students soon. by Connie Schofield-Morrison illustrated by Frank Morrison RELEASE DATE: JA great prescription for kids who tremble at the thought of their first day of school. I Got the Christmas Spirit would be a good book to read during the Christmas season but has themes that are sure to resonate with the reader all year long.

Followed closely by love of family and community. The pages are dotted with flurries of snowflakes putting the reader in the center of a magnificent winter wonderland with illustrations that give you all of the warm and fuzzy feelings of the season. She can share it with the warmth of her smile and from her heart of compassion that gives to those in need.

She can hear it in the ringing of the church bells, and the joyful sounds of the carolers singing.

She can see it in the snow that falls and the sparkle of the beautiful lights. This time around she experiences the sensations of the Christmas spirit felt all around her in their family’s neighborhood. Connie Schofield-Morrison and Frank Morrison make an incredible team and I am thrilled to have the chance to read another story featuring their infectiously exuberant little girl from their book, I Got the Rhythm.
