- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a beautiful Christmas Poem written by Maya Angelou. I have read some of her writings before and enjoyed them very much. Not only is her words beautiful, but the art in this book, by Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher was stunning. Love, Peace and Good Will are always the theme for the Christmas season. But oh how they are needed in the world today.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Good book, I love all her books, its a good read

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5today was the best day for Maya Angela's Power Poetry of upliftment, encouragement to share within myself and to my coworkers.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A poem that speaks of Christmas and faith and that peace that comes from believing in Christmas.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nice poem, pretty illustrations!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The illustrations are honestly what are meaningful to me about this book. The artists take great care with textures and incorporate fabric scraps into their paintings. The scenes are of a small town gathering, candlelight, peace - very evocative and beautiful. I'm not sure about the poem's religious implication that all "tribes" "celebrate the promise of peace" with the birth of Jesus.
