You knew it had to be coming

This will be a year. A real year. The kind of year when we don’t just have a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas, but it’s actually going to be a completely new adaptation! This one’s going to be a “deluxe edition”, a cloth-covered hardcover with foil highlights. The adaptation is written by Maggie Tesla, who has done a lot of the kids books lately, and drawn by the mighty Vicki Scott, who did some fine stuff in the recent comic books, among other things.

Coming in September, you can preorder it now! (Did I? Of course!)
