Eve, but his little helper has forgotten to bring the gifts
and sweets! Can she collect them all in time? Or will
some children have no presents this year? This traditional
story gives children a glimpse into the busy lives of Father
Christmas and his helpers on Christmas Eve, showing the
work of the angels up in the heavens and how all the
creatures on Earth come to share in the joy of Christmas

' The Christmas Rose'

Fritz and Gretl's father is very ill and can only be cured
by a magical Christmas rose from the Winter King. With
the help of some forest animals and a snow giant, Fritz
and Gretl bravely make the difficult journey to the Winter
King's fortress. There they learn that they must get the
blessing of the Christ Child, a Christmas angel, in order for
the rose to bloom and cure their father. This rediscovered
German story is full of classic Christmas charm. In
mini-chapters, readers share the advent of Christmas
from December 6th, Saint Nikolaus Day, to December
24th, when Germans celebrate Christmas

Else Wenz-Viëtor:
'The Christmas Angels'

It's Christmas Eve, and most people are safely tucked
up in their beds. But the Christmas angels know who needs
their help on this holy night, and are ready to fly down to
help the lost, lonely and weary. Small children will love the
row of cut-out angel heads which reveal the features of each
little angel in turn. This is a beautiful and inspiring picture
book which sings of the message of Christmas loving
kindness from every page
