The 12 Days of Christmas
The 12 Days of Christmas | Rachel Isadora
7 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Set in Africa, this beautiful rendition of the classic Christmas carol has a unique twist: colorful icons illustrate the various gifts repeated in each verse of this cumulative song, creating a rebus-style text that gives young children a fun way to follow along and chime in with the lyrics. The gorgeous, wonderfully detailed collage illustrations, comprised of colorful kente cloth and cut paper, feature tribal drummers and dancers, traditional clothing and native wildlife, making every scene as visually striking as the last.

Day 1 - #January2022

The Spanish Daughter by Lorena Hughes - The story is just outright captivating. and had me turning pages as quickly as possible. Puri‘s budding relationships with her newly found siblings also add to the tension, and all of this human emotion and action set against the gorgeous backdrop of early 20th century Ecuador‘s chocolate plantations make this a winner. #12BooksOfChristmas2022 @Andrew65

#TwelveDaysofChristmas

Rachel Isadora‘s “Twelve Days of Christmas” weaves together many African traditions in a new take on the traditional song.
Isadora‘s author note lists her inspirations from the different countries she visited in Africa, and provides a simplified map of the continent. Her cut paper and oil paint illustrations perfectly compliment the story.
