Product Information

This Christmas, instead of a Christmas card – you’ll have plenty of those – and instead of a present – you’ll have plenty of those too, I am sending you a letter . I do like the message behind the story, of course we need to take care of our planet and children need to be aware of this. It has beautiful illustrations by Jim Field which support the text and really draw the reader into the story. This is illustrated in a way that children can grasp and understand, though I think it is often actually the adults that need to make a change.
