for the November/December 2006 Horn Book Magazine

The holidays have become a multicultural affair, as evidenced by the diverse authors and titles featured in our November/December issue. If you need a little tradition with your curry, miso, and hummus, you and the family may enjoy this Christmas memory from Lois Lenski, first published on our pages in 1946.  For those that prefer to visit the land of Indian nonsense writer Anushka Ravishankar, we've come up with something more exotic: a list of recommended books about South Asia.
