About the author

Alyssa Satin Capucilli was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1957. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College, and pursued her interest in dance, becoming a professional dancer and dance instructor. Though Capucilli had written stories, poems, and even puppet shows as a child, she didn't consider a career as a writer until after her own two children were born. To this day she sees herself as both a dancer and a writer, and the two professions complement each other nicely: dancing is, in her words, “telling stories in another way,” and readers of her children's books can attest to the rhythm of her language. Since 1994, she has written more than 15 books for children, and her work has been translated into French, Hebrew, Afrikaans, Greek, and Bulgarian.

Capucilli lives in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, with her husband and children. They have a chocolate Labrador retriever named Huckleberry, who likes to watch the author at work.

Mama waited too long to write this review and the book has since been returned to the library, so we don't have specifics. We do remember that it was just meh. We realize this is not a helpful review, so our apologies fellow readers. We will have a talk with her about the lack of professionalism.🐕🎁

In this simple book Biscuit and the girl share in the Christmas spirit by giving gifts. Giving gifts to human, and animals alike. Learning that giving is the best part of the holiday season.
