December 2024 Book of the Month
Marrying Elisa Paganelli’s richly atmospheric illustrations with text that’s been pared down perfectly for 3+-year-olds, this picture book adaptation of Ben Miller’s debut novel for children might just become part of many a household’s Christmas Eve traditions.
While other children are asleep “dreaming of the big day to come”, Jackson was determined to “STAY awake until Father Christmas came”. But, when he manages to do exactly that, Jackson finds himself playing a major role in making sure everyone’s Christmas dreams can come true this year…
Magical and moving, The Night I Met Father Christmas is ideal for reading before sleep on Christmas Eve, when many a child will be determined to stay awake, just like Jackson. It’s also a book to treasure and return to year after year.
