From sparkling boats on Lake Michigan to giant roadside statues along Route 66, Illinois has it all--and Mias going to see everything the Prairie State has to offer when she visits her favorite cousin for Christmas. Along the way, she gets some great state gifts, including a chirpy red cardinal named Ruby, some spooky ghosts, and a whole gang of sock monkeys--invented in Illinois!
