This heart-warming seasonal adventure is the third about Milly’s Grandad and once again, his camper van has a starring role in a tale that celebrates love, community and a welcome for everyone.

Milly is excited to be spending Christmas at Grandad’s. With biscuits baked, the tree decorated and presents wrapped, Grandad’s friend Viv arrives to stay. Her bookshop, Over the Rainbow Books, has been flooded and she doesn’t have enough money to sort it out. With a much-loved community hub and so many memories at risk, Milly has a brainwave: they can turn the campervan into a bookshop.

Everyone rallies round, donating books and fitting shelves. On Christmas Eve, the Campervan Bookshop is open for business! Now everyone arrives as customers and enough money is raised to start repairs. Christmas Day is even more fun than usual and, as a final surprise, Grandad presents Milly with Gramps’ old art set, to make the world more colourful.

It’s such a positive story, told with immense warmth, Woodgate’s textured illustrations capturing everything we love about Christmas. To slightly misquote Viv, this book is for everyone.

If you are after more heartwarming, inclusive seasonal stories, The Christmas Tree Mouse by Joseph Coelho and Farah Shah and One Snowy Christmas Eve by Marc Bratcher and Korky Paul fit the bill.
