Description

Wanting to show her grandma a snowy American Christmas, Tessa mails a card with only a drawing of Christmas fairies and the words Ouma (that means Grandma) and Cape Town, South Africa. The letter carrier who finds it knows that it can’t go to Cape Town, so he puts it in his pocket. With no name, no street, and no stamps, how is Ouma ever going to get Tessa’s letter?

Follow the magical journey of a child’s Christmas card traveling 10,000 miles across the world, from the hand of one stranger spreading cheer to another, all the way to Ouma. Is it kindness or Christmas magic? With gorgeous illustrations, hidden fairies on every page, and a heartwarming message of caring and connection, Christmas Fairies for Ouma shares Christmas joy and celebrates the love between a grandparent and grandchild.
