The Twelve Days of Christmas in Maryland — Priscilla Cummings

On the first day of Christmas my parents gave to me . . . a holiday book about my very own state!

Come celebrate Christmas by the bay with Annie! When she visits her cousin Tyler in Maryland, she gets to rides a ferry, see colonial St. Mary's City, taste delicious Smith Island cakes, and, of course, check out some Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. And every day, Tyler gives her a special Maryland gift, from 12 flags a-flying and 8 wild ponies to an oriole in a white oak tree. Written and illustrated by two Maryland residents, this holiday book perfectly captures the spirit of the state.
