Join 12 charming Christmas elves on a trip around the world in this holiday picture book with glitter details
’Twas dawning on Yule. A fierce storm was brewing. Could this blustery night be Christmas’s undoing?
After a terrible storm sweeps the globe, Christmas festivities are canceled around the world. Twelve little elves come to the rescue, helping each community rehang their decorations and revive their traditions. From karavaki boats in Greece to paper lanterns in Argentina to nativity cribs in Lebanon, the elves embark on an unforgettable journey filled with holiday spirit and goodwill. With rhyming text from Stephanie Campisi and colorful illustrations by Susanna Covelli, 12 Little Elves Save Christmas brings a global perspective to the Christmas season.
A fun holiday tale reminiscent of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas. When a catastrophe threatens the holiday, 12 little elves take off on a global mission to help save Christmas. Told in catchy rhymes and paired with vibrant illustrations of the elves in different predicaments, the story takes readers on a journey to different countries, showcasing their unique traditions and customs. From Sweden’s yule goats to Iceland’s book-gifting traditions and Australia’s beach cricket competitions, each spread introduces a new aspect of holiday celebrations around the world. The simple yet engaging storyline makes it perfect for early readers or a fun family read-aloud. Illustrations are bright and cheerful and help bring the elves, of various skin tones and body shapes, to life. VERDICT A perfect way to introduce children to diverse Christmas traditions and cultures. -- Jessica Clark * School Library Journal *
