Christmas and New Year! Winter Stories in Anticipation of the Holidays

"Christmas and New Year!" - a cozy winter book, a collection of stories by the author of the beloved mouse Tilda Apple Seed. We will meet new characters as well as those already familiar from other works by Andreas H. Schmachtl - Tilda Apple Seed (one story will be dedicated to her), Snowball, and Hieronymus Frog.
The collection is written in the best traditions of the author. The book does not have monsters, tragic incidents, or tumultuous adventures. The reader sees life in its everyday beauty and learns to notice miracles in the ordinary.
There are 24 stories in the book, and each one tells about Christmas and the preparations for it in one way or another. The atmosphere of winter holidays in Europe comes alive on the pages. One story mentions Bach's Christmas Cantata and even includes its translation into Russian. If you start reading the book 24 days before New Year, dedicating each evening to one story, you can join the characters in approaching the holiday, discuss the festive traditions of different countries, and even repeat some of them.
In the New Year's hustle and bustle, it is important not to forget what we are celebrating, to find silence, and to give love to our loved ones. This book, with its festive design - with foil stamping and glitter - will become a cozy winter read in anticipation of beloved holidays.
