    This collection of Christmas nursery rhymes, complete with book cover images, and accompanying opening/closing song and background music, is designed to be a comprehensive and immersive holiday experience for children and families. The primary purpose of these rhymes is to capture the magic, wonder, and diverse traditions of the Christmas season in a format that is both engaging and accessible to young minds, particularly those aged six to eight. 
    The intent behind this collection is multifaceted. First, it seeks to provide a fresh and original source of festive storytelling that goes beyond the classic carols and rhymes. By introducing new characters, such as (in later collections) the Christmas starfish and the caroling mice, alongside beloved figures like Santa Claus and the Nutcracker, the collection aims to spark children's imaginations and create new holiday traditions. The rhymes are crafted to be easily readable and memorable, with rhythmic verses that support early literacy skills and a love for poetry. 
    Furthermore, the collection is designed to be a versatile resource for parents and educators. These shorter rhymes are perfect for recitation and memorization and offer narratives for bedtime stories or classroom reading. The inclusion of opening and closing songs transforms the book into a potential musical or theatrical production, encouraging creative expression and performance.

    In the late 1970s, grain prices had tanked, farm auctions filled newspapers, and people had forgotten that food didn’t grow in grocery stores. So, on February 5, 1979, thousands of tractors from all parts of the USA took to the highways and flooded Washington, DC, in protest. Farmers wanted  
    fair prices for their products and demanded action from Congress. After police corralled the tractors on the National Mall, the farmers and their tractors stayed through a snowstorm and dug out the city. Americans were now convinced they needed farmers, but the law took longer. 
     
    Lindsay H. Metcalf, a journalist who grew up on a family farm, shares this rarely told story of grassroots perseverance and economic justice rooted in the 1980s farm crisis. It is the story of the struggle and triumph of the American farmer that still resonates today.
