Review Quotes
"Charmingly beautiful."
Newfoundland Herald
"If you're looking for a sweet tale to add to your holiday book trove, A Newfoundland Christmas is just the ticket."
Atlantic Books Today
"Baker highlights all the Newfoundland words throughout the story and puts them in a glossary at the end. This is a good idea not only if you want to send the book to children outside the province, but help to explain some of Newfoundland's traditions to our own young ones."

"Author Dawn Baker has created a lovely picture book that showcases her outstanding artistic abilities."
CM Magazine
"This is a great book for sharing with young children and whether or not your background is in Newfoundland, I'm sure it will evoke memories of Christmases spent in small communities all over the country."
