The Christmas Tree Mouse

by Joseph Coelho (Author), illustrated by Farah Shah

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house not a creature was stirring, save . . .

CHRISTMAS TREE MOUSE! And she's on an important mission. A mission to help Santa!

Every Christmas Eve, this tiny mouse brushes away Santa's snowy footprints, nibbles up the mince pie crumbs, and - most importantly - checks on her Santa HQ tablet that all the correct presents are under the tree. But when Christmas Tree Mouse discovers that baby Ola has received the wrong present, it's a CATASTROPHE!

Can she use all her special training and determination to save the day? And might Santa himself make a special appearance? This charming and heartwarming picture book from Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho and debut illustrator Farah Shah offers a brilliantly funny sneak peek behind the scenes on the most magical night of the year.

The perfect gift for any child this Christmas! Longlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize 2025
