Biographical Note:
Tomie dePaola (1934-2020) was the beloved author and/or illustrator of more than 270 books for young readers, including the children's classic, Strega Nona. He was the recipient of the Newbery Honor, Caldecott Honor, and the 2011 Children's Literature Legacy Award for "significant and lasting contribution to children's literature." A native of Connecticut, Mr. dePaola studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, and spent much of his life in New London, New Hampshire. Visit his work online at Tomie.com.
Publisher Marketing:
Based on the 1872 Christmas carol "In the Bleak Midwinter" by English poet Christina Rosetti, this stunning, wintry picture book from acclaimed author-illustrator Tomie dePaola will be cherished all through the holiday season.
One chilly winter's night, the wind howled over a blanket of snow while in a humble stable, Jesus Christ was born. Angels, shepherds, wise men, and farm animals all gather to share in the still and holy night.

Gifts of the Spirit
Gifts of the Spirit was founded in 1983 by Gladys and Mary Dieringer. When Natalie Duffy heard it was set to close, in September of 2018, she knew that our city couldn’t lose this little gem and has been operating it ever since, with her 6 little boys (and now a daughter) in tow. In November 2020, due to a rent increase and other complications of Covid, the sorrowful decision was made to permanently close the storefront and operate remotely from their home, allowing the ability to educate her children and still meet customer’s needs.
Gifts of the Spirit is happy to offer shipping and pick up options, as well as delivery to close in Portland, OR areas. We do special orders!
Please call 503-771-6442 for the physical address. This map only shows an approximate area.
