A beautiful illustrated advent treasury of 24 timeless holiday stories, poems, and songs to be shared with the whole family in the countdown to Christmas!

December is here and there is something special in the air! Children begin their countdown to Christmas Day and Santa’s arrival, and what better way to do so with a new holiday story each day. Ride on the Snow Queen’s sleigh, discover the elves secreting making shoes in the night, learn about the first Christmas in space, and snuggle in on Christmas Eve with Clement C. Moore’s classic poem, “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.”  

With stories beautifully retold by Alexandra Stewart and gloriously illustrated by Freya Hartas, this festive gift advent story treasury collects cheerful and uplifting tales to be shared together during the Christmas season
