Description

One snowy village. Six gentle stories. A little kindness in every window.

Welcome to Willowmere, where stone cottages glow beneath snowy roofs and Christmas brings neighbours together in unexpected ways.

A lantern helps a new family feel at home. A crooked loaf becomes a gift worth sharing. A little fir tree welcomes a feathered visitor. An invitation finds the person who needs it, an old wooden fox begins a new adventure, and a small bell brings the village together on Christmas Eve.

The Christmas Lights of Willowmere is a collection of six connected, reassuring stories about friendship, generosity and making room for others. With warm humour, gentle adventures and a traditional Christmas atmosphere, each tale offers a quiet moment to share with a child.

Inside this 40-page collection:
• Six complete stories, each with its own colour illustration
• Nostalgic winter artwork inspired by traditional Christmas cards
• A welcoming village and characters who return throughout the book
• Themes of kindness, belonging, sharing and caring for others
• A Christmas Eve ending with carols and a brief telling of the Nativity story

Written in British English for shared reading with children aged 5–9, this collection is made for family story time, December evenings and cosy bedtime reading.
