Santa Claus and the Christmas Surprise cover

Christmas is coming but Anna and Michael's village is cut off by deep snow. They're worried that Santa Claus won't reach them, so they send him a special wish.

Santa Claus hears their wish, and brings the village a surprise. Can the neighbours work together to reach their Christmas gift?

This is a gorgeously illustrated Christmas story about hope and community spirit, with a dash of traditional seasonal magic from much-loved illustrator Maja Dusíková.

'This is a beautiful wintry story [...] about the power of community -- and a cup of tea!'
-- JUNO Magazine

'Illustrated with warm and hazy paintings that remind of traditional Christmas tales.'
-- Foreword Reviews

'Watercolors in soft focus lend an intimacy to what reads like a folktale, with little animal friends in the illustrations for young children to find. A sweet message about the meaning of Christmas giving.'
-- Kirkus
