Regular price
€13.99
A heart-warming rhyming story about the realities behind a typical family Christmas; reminding us how easy it is to get caught up in material things, through the true to life and tear-inducing experiences of ‘the family next door’. Grandad helps his family get through their challenges in the run up to the big day, from Lily’s meltdown in her school nativity, to cremated turkey on Christmas morning! His special gift (a message from Grandma) helps the family remember her and reminds them that Christmas should be about togetherness.
After being forced into living in temporary accomodation over a Christmas perios, Terri now lives in Feltham, with her two children. Having a child with autism who also battled cancer inspired this debut text. After working as an actor, setting up a theatre company and having two children, Terri rediscovered her passion to write. "My own highs and lows as a mother hugely influence my writing. Motherhood has continued to be an adventure that constantly challenges me to seek out stories that echo the experiences of my own children. Reading to them provides a safe space and a wonderful escape. I love seeing their faces light up as we turn the pages of a new book.”
