Description
A beautiful anthology of stories, recipes and craft activities that celebrates being together at Christmas.
Little Bear and Mum are getting ready for Christmas. When their tree is a little wobbly, Little Bear learns that their homemade ornaments will make it perfect. When Little Bear doesn't want to leave an afternoon of sledding, Mum reminds her that the memories will always stay in her heart. And when they bake Christmas gingerbread, Little Bear realises the most important ingredient of all: love.
With heartfelt stories, recipes, and craft activities, this stunningly illustrated book celebrates the true meaning of Christmas: spending time with loved ones.
