The honorable Jason Hatton noted on 22 Sep 2006 thusly:

I am hoping to tap into the great wisdom that Publibers 
always seem to offer...

Our local arts council wants to find a children´s book 
(with some, but not very much text) that deals with 
Christmas themes (giving, family, etc...) but makes 
absolutely no mention of any religious elements. They 
would prefer that the characters be animals, but if not the 
humans should be racially diverse. Any thoughts?
