A Christmas Advent Story

Description

Let's count down to Christmas! A beautiful first Christmas Advent book, with 25 flaps - one for every day of Advent. Snow is falling on Christmas Eve and everyone is quiet. The stars are out, we're all in bed, but who will visit you in the night...? Follow the story of a little girl, boy and their dog on their countdown to Christmas day. Along the way you'll find 25 flaps (one for every day of advent), each introducing a new word in this magical Christmas book. Sing carols in a busy square, watch ballerinas spin and twirl, bake Christmas cookies, look out for reindeer and pick the perfect tree...What will you see? A fantastic Christmas gift. Each spread uncovers a new beautiful Christmas scene such as: ice skating and Christmas lights, Christmas shopping and carol singing, a gorgeous pine tree wood plus lots more. Packed with plenty of charm, in addition to discovering what is under each flap, children will be able to spot lots of lovely things in each scene from snowflakes and Christmas cards to decorations and cookies for Santa. Look out for the sad old snowman throughout and find out what happens to him in the end! This is a book to treasure and children will want to come back to it every year.

Originally from a small town near Leeds, Hannah moved the long long way down to Falmouth, Cornwall to study illustration by the sea. After graduating in 2013, she now still lives and and continues to illustrate there. Bold colours, playful compositions inspire Hannah. My First Christmas Advent is Hannah's first book for Bloomsbury. Ivy Snow has loved children's books since before she was able to walk! After living in the fast-paced city she moved to the lovely countryside so she could focus on becoming the author she always wanted to be. A Christmas Advent Story is her first children's book and she is thrilled to have found a home at Bloomsbury. Ivy now lives in Hertfordshire with her husband and her little boy who might love picture books even more than she does!
