A festive picture book about celebrating Christmas all year - with real fold-out letters! Packed with merry mischief and humour from author, Dawn McNiff, and bestselling The Leaf Thief illustrator, Nicola Slater.
Jay LOVES Christmas and wants nothing more than to celebrate EVERY DAY. . . ALL YEAR. But his Mum and Dad have said NO. They won't even let him put the Christmas tree up in August! So Jay only has one option - to run away to the most Christmassy place on Earth, the North Pole.
Joining Santa and the elves sounds fun and full of festive joy, right? Well, Jay's letters home soon reveal that maybe there is such thing as TOO MUCH jolly Christmas spirit, even for him. And perhaps Jay doesn't want to miss out on summer BBQs, camping trips, football matches and trick-or-treating with his family after all. Can he make it home just in time for the BIG NIGHT?!
This funny, magical story is told entirely through letters between Jay and his family - with six fold-out letters to open and look inside. Along with Nicola Slater's artwork bringing lashings of character to every scene, this picture book makes the perfect gift! Ideal for fans of Emma Yarlett's Christmas Post, The Jolly Christmas Postman and Dear Santa.
