Storytime – Bear’s First Christmas

With author Roxana de Rond and illustrator Shelby de Rond

Sunday 13th December at 11.30am

Bear can’t wait to celebrate Christmas with his forest friends this year! There’s just one problem: he hibernates through the winter … The leaves are changing colour, and, this year, Bear has a plan. He is going to stay awake for Christmas Day. Together with Fox, Squirrel, Rabbit and Owl, they start to get ready for the big day. But … Bear is tired! His friends try all sorts of activities to keep him awake, but he is just too sleepy.

How will they give Bear the Christmas he is dreaming of? This gorgeously illustrated picture book from mother and daughter Roxana and Shelby de Rond is bursting with humour, charm and the magic of friendship at Christmastime.
