Autumn is my favourite time of year for so many reasons but one of the biggest is that it leads up to Christmas. Nothing puts me in the mood more than the first Christmas stories appearing in late summer. That’s why I was so excited to spot Kid Christmas of the Claus Brothers Toy Store on NetGalleyUK.
Kid Christmas of the Claus Brothers Toy Store is a charming story of Christmas magic and generosity. Exploring the origins of Christmas gift giving, it will inspire young readers to share what they have and think about how they can help those who may not have many gifts this Christmas.
Nicky’s uncles are the first toy makers in the land. Their mysterious workshop produces the most wonderful toys for children to enjoy. When Nicky realises not every child can afford one of these marvellous toys, he vows to do something about it. He comes up with a plan to deliver a toy to every child in the city. With determination, teamwork and a bit of magic, the legend of Father Christmas is born!
Kid Christmas of the Claus Brothers Toy Store will be a gorgeous addition to every Christmas picture book collection. Perfect to read in the run-up to Christmas, it will encourage children to think of others and find ways they can honour the spirit of Nicky and the Claus Brothers. Originally published in hardcover in October 2022, the paperback edition will be available in October 2023.
Thank you to Frances Lincoln Children’s Books and NetGalleyUK for this lovely book.
