Using both pillows, together with one of the cushions from the chair, I made a sort of bed-throne, so that I could sit up and watch the open sky.

That all changes when, one Christmas Eve, Jackson meets Father Christmas and hears his incredible story. When Jackson’s friend tells him that Father Christmas isn’t real, Jackson goes out of his way to prove his existence. The moon was thin but bright, and in our neighbour’s garden a fox picked its way across the white lawn.

After an initial shock at finding a child out of bed, Santa decides that he can answer Jackson’s questions but warns him it might not be what he is expecting. There are beautiful black and white illustrations scattered throughout the book, providing natural breaks for discussion - this feels very much like a bedtime read throughout the build up to Christmas, to be enjoyed by both adult and child.
