Children's Book Review for The McBrights by Makennah Johnston, Adam Beehn (Illustrator)

 

The McBrights by Makennah Johnston, Adam Beehn (Illustrator)

Published: November 11, 2025 by Blue Balloon Books


Taken from Amazon:
  Every Christmas Eve, the McBrights dazzle from the branches of the Evergreen Tree in Henbrook's town square, warming hearts with their old-fashioned glow. This year, however, something isn't quite right. The McBrights are left in their storage box for longer than usual, and when they are finally unpacked, they find themselves for sale at an antique store!

They may be vintage, but their bulbs aren't burnt out yet. Bernie McBright is determined to get his family shining where they belong. Could the store's newest visitor be the spark the McBrights need to light up Christmas once more?

My Thoughts:   The McBrights is a perfect Christmas book.  The story is cute. The illustrations are perfect and match the story perfectly.  I enjoyed that it was not the typical Christmas story.  The main characters are Christmas lights that go on an adventure just to be lit up again. 

I am excited to take this book to my grandson and have him enjoy the story and illustrations with me.   It would be the perfect book to sit around the Christmas tree and read while the snow falls outside.

Thank you Blue Balloon Books for a copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.
