If you are looking to start building a stash of new Christmas books ready for gifting during the festive season, there’s no better place to start with ‘Grandad’s Christmas.’

“Milly is so excited to be spending Christmas at Grandad’s. There’s so much to get ready before their special guest, Grandad’s friend Viv, arrives. Her home and bookshop have been flooded and she has no money to fix them, but Milly and Grandad have a plan to help Viv and spread Christmas cheer as the camper van is transformed into a bookshop!”

Lots of you will already be well-acquainted with Grandad from his previous adventures in ‘Grandad’s Camper’ and ‘Grandad’s Pride.’ His latest outing is one to really get you into the festive spirit as the whole community rallies together to save Viv’s Christmas and spread bookish joy.

Woodgate’s work is always a wonderful blend of uplifting and inclusive stories, with illustrations which are bursting with life. Readers will definitely want to pause and soak up all the little details hidden on the pages.

Heartwarming, vibrant, and overflowing with community spirit, this joyful festive tale is a must-read holiday treat that will charm young readers and adults alike.

Jo.
