The Biggest Smallest Christmas Present


Book Description

The Night Before Christmas meets Thumbelina in a toy-filled tale that celebrates the excitement and magic of the holiday season. Clementine is a teeny-tiny girl who lives with her average-sized family. It’s mostly fun being the smallest, but Christmas can be tricky. Santa brings beautiful toys, but they are too big for this little girl. Every year, Clementine tries to tell Santa she’s small. But the cookies she ices with a message to Santa are eaten, and the words she stamps out on the roof are covered by fresh snow. It’ll take a whole lot of Christmas spirit for Clementine to find the right way to reach Santa—and when she does, she just might get the toy of her dreams! Harriet Muncaster’s whimsical illustrations shine in this celebration of creativity, gratitude, and the magic of Christmas.

Little Wagtail


Book Description

The seven-year-old Mari is playing on the beach outside of the house where she lives. It’s a rainy day in October and mum’s new boyfriend, Petter, is visiting. Mari doesn’t like him. She dreams that her real daddy – she only remembers him from a black and white picture on her nightstand – will one day come to visit. —Daddy? Is that you? Her voice quivered. The last word was barely audible, nothing more than a small, hopeful breath. He nodded, bent down and opened his arms. —Yes, Little Wagtail. Come to daddy. *** There are many examples from real life of young girls held captive by disgusting men. Some of them for years and often in dark cellars in quite ordinary residential areas where no one knows what’s going on inside their neighbours’ four walls. Could the same thing happen in Kodal, the peaceful, small village right outside of Sandefjord in Norway?
