From the author and illustrator of many beloved classic picture books comes a story about an Australian Christmas. Beautiful and heartwarming, this is a book that is destined to become a family favourite.
‘Joy comes in the morning’
It’s Christmas Eve in 1932, and Joey, Ellie and their parents are droving cattle in the drought.
How will Santa find them on the long and dusty road? And will there be pudding and presents and a tree in the morning?
But Joey knows that Christmas always comes.
From two of Australia’s best-loved picture book creators comes a story about finding joy and beauty where you least expect it, and how kindness can create miracles.
PRAISE
‘This is a heart-warming story from one of Australia’s best teams for creating picture books, and both French and Whatley have crafted words and images that cut to the core of what we really remember and celebrate at Christmas regardless of the time or circumstances.’ — The Bottom Shelf
