The Christmas Guest cover

Discover the message of Christmas with this beautiful retelling of a much-loved story. Full of kindness, compassion, and generosity, it's sure to warm your heart. A gorgeous Christmas gift for children ages 4 to 7 years.

In the old French city of Marseille, it's Christmas Day and Martin the shoemaker is eagerly expecting a very special guest. As the day goes on, Martin provides warmth for a shivering street sweeper, gives a meal to a young mother, presents shoes to a little boy with bare feet, and offers company to a lonely old woman. But when night falls, Martin's special guest still hasn't arrived . . . Or has he? A book about the true meaning of Christmas that is perfect to read together during the festive season.

A delightful Christmas tale with a heart that is – like Christmas – full of love, truth, and surprises. Perfect for families to share together. -- Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Carnegie Medal winner and Waterstones Children’s Laureate
