Pink Santa; Tanya Hennessy, illustrated by Ben Whitehouse

There were no more days to count down. In Santa’s workshop all of the gifts had been made and wrapped, the list had been checked twice, the cookies were baked and the sleigh was polished and prepped. There was just one more job to do before delivering the presents…wash Santa’s suit. And in the capable and trustworthy hooves of Rudolph what could possibly go wrong…

In a very colourful twist, another read gives new life to the classic words from ’Twas the Night Before Christmas. With all of the festive favourites adopting a new colour, the pinkified Christmas is joyful, inclusive and wrapped up with messages around making the best of the situation, embracing change and being yourself (red suit or not).

Much hilarity ensues following the washing woe proving that the best things often come from mistakes. The very ‘cheeky’ elves are a personal favourite - don’t miss the one at the end who has their own idea for Christmas clothing (or lack of) next year.
