Dear Father Christmas

A fun and festive picture book, with lots of laughs along the way!

Summary

A light-hearted festive fable about appreciation and gratitude reminding us that sometimes even Father Christmas deserves Christmas presents!

But what would happen if Father Christmas wrote a letter? Surely, he couldn't . . . could he?
