๐Ÿป Honey Wakes Up Early

Bear cub Honey accidentally wakes up from hibernation on Christmas morning and discovers a world of snow and wonder.

A sneak peek

Deep inside a hillside den, underneath a blanket of earth and roots and snow, the bear family was fast asleep. Mama Bear was snoring gently. Papa Bear was snoring not-so-gently. And little Honey, the smallest bear cub in the forest, was supposed to be snoring too. โ€ฆ

The whole story opens on 6 December.

๐Ÿ‘‘ The Lucia Crown

Astrid in Norway celebrates St Lucia Day and discovers a secret about her grandmother that changes how she sees Christmas.

A sneak peek

Every December 13th, Astrid wore the crown. It was the Lucia crown โ€” a wreath of lingonberry branches with white candles (electric ones now, after the Great Hair Incident of 2019) โ€” and Astrid, as the eldest daughter, carried it into her parents' bedroom at dawn, singing "Sankta Lucia" while her younger brothers followed behind in white robes, looking half asleep and slightly embarrassed. โ€ฆ

The whole story opens on 6 December.
