Book Description
This bestselling Christmas picture book by renowned children's author Michael Morpurgo and illustrator Jim Field, is now available in paperback for the first time. Michael Morpurgo frames his powerful message about protecting the environment in this beautiful personal story about a grandpa's wish for his granddaughter to live in a better world. This vital and timely story is paired with Jim Field's emotive illustrations in this gorgeous Christmas picture book, perfect for the whole family to share. Dearest little Mia, 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 ... Every Christmas Mia and her family read a letter which her Grandpa wrote to her. His letter is a warm, impassioned and heartfelt wish for a better world for Mia to live in. He remembers fondly the times they spent in his garden finding frogs and worms and planting seeds. But Grandpa worries that all the things they love so much are in danger ... His letter is a hopeful plea to Mia (and to all of us) to continue to care for and protect our precious world. Michael Morpurgo is a master storyteller who has written over one hundred books and won countless awards. In 1976 Michael and his wife Clare started the charity Farms For City Children, which aims to relieve the poverty of experience of young children from inner city and urban areas. In 1999 they were awarded the MBE for their work in creating these farms and in 2006 Michael received an OBE. His novel War Horse has been adapted into a hugely successful and critically acclaimed West End play as well as a film adaptation directed by Steven Spielberg. Michael is a tireless champion for children's books and was formerly the Children's Laureate. Jim Field is an award-winning illustrator, character designer and animation director. He is perhaps best known for drawings frogs on logs in the bestselling picture book series Oi Frog! He has illustrated children's books with Kes Grey, Michelle Robinson, Rachel Bright, Jeanne Willis, Steve Cole and comedian David Baddiel. His first picture book Cats Ahoy won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and he has been nominated for several other awards including the Kate Greenaway Award and the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award. In 2016, The Bookseller listed Jim as the 6th top selling illustrator. Jim grew up in Farborough and now lives in Paris with his wife and daughter.

Book Description
"How Grandpa Elf Saved Christmas," by Evelyn Gill Hilton, is a beautifully illustrated, delightful Christmas picture book and story for a very reasonable price! Have you ever spent most of Christmas Eve night assembling Santa toys for your children, only to put the wrong gift tags on them? When our three children were small, my husband and I sat up late one Christmas Eve and did just that. We hurriedly placed name tags on the presents and went to bed. The next morning, as the children opened their gifts, we realized the presents were mixed up. Our youngest son, in childlike wisdom, commented that Santa must have an old elf with bad eyesight, thereby solving our embarrassing problem himself! This led to the humerous story and picture book about nearsighted Grandpa Elf. "How Grandpa Elf Saved Christmas" is a delightful Christmas story and picturebook that you will take pleasure in reading with your child! You can't keep from liking crotchity old Grandpa and will enjoy finding out how the children of the world turn a terrible problem into an opportunity for fun and friendship! This enchanting children's book will make a great Christmas gift or an "anytime" present for that special child who loves Santa!
