This charming tale tells the story of little Nicky Claus, who wanted to make every child happy, if only just for one day. Nicky Claus works with his three uncles in the Claus Brothers Toy Emporium. Uncle Hanz makes the toys, Uncle Louis checks them, and Uncle Levi adds the... what's the scientific term for it? Ah, yes. The magic!

Each toy made at the Emporium has a special sparkle that means it will find the child it is perfect for. One day, Nicky notices a young girl with her face pressed up to the glass. When she disappears, he follows her and finds her living on the streets with lots of other children, none of whom can afford a toy. Nicky vows that for one night only, every child will have the toy of their dreams andβ€”with the help of his uncles and some flying reindeerβ€”the legend of Father Christmas is born.

This magical and heartwarming story from best-selling author-illustrator David Litchfield is a true festive treat centred on kindness, generosity, and looking after each other.
