“Its inspirational messages and enchanting illustrations lifted the spirits of our patients, families and staff, spreading joy when they need it most.” —Caitlin Stella, CEO, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital

Holidays All Year is set to release hot on the heels of the first ever Pomp, Snow and Cirqueumstance live immersive holiday experience at the Diplomat Beach Resort, attended by over 35,000 people in 8 days.

Winner of seven Telly’s and nine book awards including two NYC Big Book awards, the brand is well on its way to residencies nationwide and a future Broadway engagement.

“Traveling the world throughout my career and engaging with families, different cultures and religions exposed me to the rich tapestry of people, diversity and faiths that have many common characteristics in celebrations, festivals and gatherings. I wanted this book to depict that although there may be differences in beliefs, different beliefs can find common meaning in the world.” – Neil Goldberg

Book Summary: As December ends, Pomp, Snow and Cirqueumstance wrap up Christmas and prepare for more holidays around the world. When their gifts don’t match each day quite right, there’s only one sprite who can help: Festina, whose mother is Nature and father is Time. With her wisdom, knowledge and power to turn back the clock, she rewinds time so the trio can celebrate each holiday’s traditions with the special care they deserve. With detailed and vivid full-spread illustrations, this book is a spectacle guaranteed to infuse everyone’s holiday celebrations with joy.
