Praise
Longfellow’s 1864 poem is set against rosy-hued scenes of a town on Christmas. The refrain of “peace on earth, good-will to men!” is juxtaposed with references to global and interpersonal conflict that are as relevant today as they were to the author’s original Civil War–era setting. The digital illustrations are similar in style to the work of Christian Robinson, with flat coloring in warm, inviting tones. Like the text, they have a timeless quality, reflecting the poem’s message of hope.
