Description
A fun-filled eco picture book based on the classic Christmas song!
On the first day of Christmas, what did Santa see?
A star that had broken in three!
Christmas spirit is in the air and all the animals are feeling the cheer. But in the excitement, what has happened to the forest? There is litter EVERYWHERE!
Appalled by what he sees, Santa writes a letter to his animal friends asking them to clear up. And over the course of twelve fun-filled days, they work together to do just that!
Based on the sing-along festive rhyme The Twelve Days of Christmas – and the perfect introduction to recycling and reusing for a new generation.

About the Author
Barry Timms enjoys the way that stories bring people together. After many years spent editing children's books, he is now telling tales of his own. Barry lives by an old water tower in South London and can often be found with pencil in hand, writing or drawing or both. He likes road movies, ghost trains and exploring forgotten side streets. Siân Roberts studied illustration by the sea at the Arts University Bournemouth, graduating with a first class honours degree in 2018. She now works from her home studio in Surrey and, fuelled by endless cups of tea, she loves to create fun characters and worlds that are full of personality.
