This innovative story infuses Clement C. Moore's classic poem with traditional Gullah folklore and characters. Traveling through a coastal South Carolina town, Buh Rabbit delivers his presents to all of the good boys and girls.
Santa never contends with a villain as he makes his rounds, yet, following Gullah tradition, Buh Fox has his mouth set on rabbit for dinner and his eyes set on the presents. The result is an action-filled Christmas Eve that children will never forget.
This is the only Christmas book written for children in Gullah, an English-derived Creole language spoken primarily by African-Americans along the South Carolina and Georgia coasts. Gullah continues to gain both national and international attention and appreciation as people are exposed to its rich language and the folklore and customs associated with it.
