This warm festive book is essentially a kind little girl’s Christmas letter to the Christmas Father. (Hmmm… The book doesn’t use the name Santa Claus, once!) Her requests are quite nice, refreshingly so.
She doesn’t ask for toys (she has enough, she says) but for genuine and heartfelt wishes. She’d like a little baby brother and for her Grandma to come and stay with her forever and so on.
There’s a little twist at the end, too. :-)
Excerpt
Dear Father Christmas,
I’ve been very, very good ….
I’m writing you this letter
Because Mummy said I should.
