The Old Sleigh, by Jarrett Pumphrey, Jerome Pumphrey


 Publication Nov. 24, 2025

A heartwarming story of how people can make a difference. There's a bit of an ol' fashioned, simple vibe to the illustrations that add to the warm feel of this story of caring through the generations can have an impact. In it, a new generation steps forward to continue a tradition of caring for community neighbors. Simply put, it's the story of how individuals caring and taking action can make a big difference to many. Santa obviously has no monopoly on sleighs, so it was fun to see this symbol of mythical giving take on real world meaning of keeping tradition alive. Thanks #WWNorton&Co for giving me an early peek at this lovely celebration of diversity and community. I wasn't familiar with the Pumphrey's but will definitely be looking for their previous work. This would be a lovely gift/addition for anyone's book shelves or library.
