Bookroo's summary
Clementine, a tiny girl in a regular-sized world, faces a Christmas dilemma: Santa's gifts are always too big. Her attempts to communicate her size are thwarted by hungry critters and fresh snow. With Christmas spirit and creativity, Clementine must find a way to reach Santa and finally receive the toy of her dreams. Will she succeed in her festive quest, or will her message be lost again? This enchanting tale of determination and holiday magic invites readers to join Clementine on her whimsical journey.
From the publisher
The Night Before Christmas meets Thumbelina in a toy-filled tale that celebrates the excitement and magic of the holiday season.
Clementine is a teeny-tiny girl who lives with her average-sized family. It’s mostly fun being the smallest, but Christmas can be tricky. Santa brings beautiful toys, but they are too big for this little girl.
Every year, Clementine tries to tell Santa she’s small. But the cookies she ices with a message to Santa are eaten, and the words she stamps out on the roof are covered by fresh snow. It’ll take a whole lot of Christmas spirit for Clementine to find the right way to reach Santa—and when she does, she just might get the toy of her dreams!
Harriet Muncaster’s whimsical illustrations shine in this celebration of creativity, gratitude, and the magic of Christmas.
