Review

"Christmas Sunrise is a beautifully written picture book that encompasses the wonder of the season. The memories of wishing for a white Christmas, the anticipation of falling asleep and waking up Christmas morning, and the joy of being with family on this special day. Three generations are represented in this touching children's book, and families will love reading it together."
Karen Almeida | Assistant Editor Literary Titan

"Christmas Sunrise" is the second book in a series of children's books Calvin James created to inspire children about the ideals of truth, kindness, friendship, love, and hope. After reading his first book, "The Colored Water Fountain," I knew Dr. James was going to be an inspiration to children everywhere, and I was so excited to hear that his second book was being published. James writes from deep within his heart, so much so that you can feel every word in the narrative bursting with love, meaning, and authenticity. He has a rare gift that he lovingly shares with the world. His words carry a vulnerability that inspires."

Great with my cousins

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2024

I got this for my young cousins, the sing along good, but I feel this could be a slower read, I feel in the holiday season it will be more heartwarming!

Also, the font is a bit too small.. THE DRAWING IS SOO NICEE THOO!! I think it sould be a bit more appealing to read and sing along since the lyrics is important!

Overall, they like it a lot!!

Heartwarming Reflection

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2024

In the spirit of the holiday season, I was searching for a heartfelt gift, which I plan to give to a friend's daughter on her birthday—coincidentally, Christmas Day. The narrative promises a journey through cherished holiday memories, as seen through the eyes of a grandmother. It's a story that seems to weave the anticipation of Christmas Eve and the warmth of family gatherings into its pages. I'm looking forward to seeing how this book might resonate with her and become a part of her own Christmas traditions, as it seems like the kind of story that could be passed down and enjoyed by every member of the family. It's a reminder that sometimes, the simplest moments with loved ones can make for the most meaningful of holidays.

It's always nice to have a book that builds up kids. The art in this is great as well. If you have younger kids, I recommend this book.

Deliciously entertaining

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2024

This is an absolutely fabulous book about Christmas. I loved it. And so delighted to see a book featuring a family of color. Only 12% of books featured non-White characters. This book is a winner in my opinion!

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2024

I’m always drawn to family Christmas books as it’s lovely to share with my family and kids. This one is aimed towards kids so I thought it could be fun. The illustrations are really lovely and the concept of being a sing-a-long was unique. I did have some formatting issues as it was ebook, but we worked it out and enjoyed overall.
