Her books feature simple and often rhyming text accompanied by detailed and realistic drawings with soft colors.

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "The most magical Christmas book you'll ever come across. My suggestion is to read this book slowly, pour over the glorious, glowing pages while sitting in front of a warm fire and sipping a toasty warm mug of spiced cider or hot chocolate. That is what I did this year and every single minute was bliss!"; "I always enjoy the fun Tasha Tudor seemed to have in all the things she did. A really amazing creative woman who kept her inner child alive and well. This book covers her Christmas traditions beautifully."; "The projects and traditions of a by-gone time. Old fashioned and folksy."; "Enchanting book for the holidays. I love her children's book illustrations and really enjoyed getting to know the artist better through this book. Cozy."
