Adapted posthumously from the illustration for the 1957 book, How The Grinch Stole Christmas!
Dr. Seuss came up with the idea for The Grinch the day after Christmas when he looked in the mirror and saw a rather Grinch-ish look on his face. “Something had gone awfully wrong with Christmas or maybe with me,” he said. Weary of the over-commercialization of Christmas and sensing that the meaning of the holiday was being lost in the wrappings and ribbons, boxes and bows, Ted Geisel sat down and wrote How The Grinch Stole Christmas! when he was 53 years old.

In December of 1956, an early morning post-Christmas reflection revealed one of the most enduring Dr. Seuss legacies while also shining light on the power of self-reflection in our own lives.
I was brushing my teeth on the morning of the 26th of last December when I noted a very Grinch-ish countenance in the mirror. It was Seuss! So, I wrote the story about my sour friend, The Grinch, to see if I could rediscover something about Christmas that obviously I’d lost” - Ted Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss), 1956

Adapted posthumously from the illustration for the 1957 book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
Dr. Seuss begins his story with the premise that “every Who down in Who-ville liked Christmas a lot” and their closest neighbor, The Grinch, did not! In his final summation of why The Grinch “hated” Christmas, Dr. Seuss lands on the simple fact that “his heart was two sizes too small.” So how does one’s heart end up in such a state?
In December 1957, Ted Geisel revealed how the previous Christmas had left him peering at “a very Grinch-ish countenance in the mirror.” He realized that “something had gone wrong with Christmas . . . or more likely with me. So I wrote the story to see if I could rediscover something about Christmas that obviously I’d lost.” The moment of redemption in Dr. Seuss’s book is when, after having stolen all the toys from his neighboring Whos down in Who-ville, they still wake up singing on Christmas morning.
As Seuss writes: “And after he puzzled over it until his “puzzler was sore, ‘Maybe Christmas,’ he thought, ‘doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas . . . perhaps . . . means a little bit more!’” When writing The Grinch, Dr. Seuss was expressing his own 53-year-old concerns about the holiday. It took Seuss time to figure out how he felt about Christmas, but as he would later say of The Grinch, “It’s not how you start out that counts. It’s what you are at the finish.”

Adapted posthumously from the illustration for the 1957 book, How The Grinch Stole Christmas!
Dr. Seuss felt people largely mistook The Grinch for the ultimate villain saying, “Can't they understand that The Grinch in my story is the Hero of Christmas? Sure, he starts out as a villain, but it’s not how you start out that counts. It’s what you are at the finish.” This sentiment is what makes Dr. Seuss’s unorthodox creature so memorable—in the end he became his best self, he became the Hero of Christmas, and The Grinch himself carved the “roast beast.”

This rare original artwork from How the Grinch Stole Christmas! captures the exact moment the Grinch realizes the Whos in Who-ville are singing joyfully despite his every attempt to steal their holiday spirit. Their bright, rising chorus, seen here echoing visually across the page, shocks him into understanding that Christmas means far more than ribbons and tags. This piece beautifully preserves the turning point where music, community, and wonder begin to change his heart forever.

Adapted posthumously from the illustration for the 1957 book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
“If I can’t find a Reindeer, I’ll make one instead!” So he called his dog, Max. Then he took some red thread and he tied a big horn on the top of his head.”
Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas is one of the most beloved Christmas tales of all time, and to some, Max the dog is the real star of the story. He is much more than just The Grinch's friendly dog and unwitting accomplice. Doing his best reindeer imitation, Max is the ever-loyal best friend to the grumpy Grinch. A true hero of the story, his humor, devotion, and likeability may even outshine the Whos down in Who-ville. Together, the unlikely duo of The Grinch and Max create a tale of inclusiveness, community spirit, and how gratitude can change everything.
