What happens when a curious little fox stumbles upon the home of a jolly, kind-hearted man? Discover a heartwarming, beautifully illustrated story about the year Santa spends preparing for Christmas.
On a snowy day, a white fox leaps through the drifts and finds itself inside a cozy house. There, it’s greeted by a kind man with a big round belly, who shares his meal before settling in for a nap. As the fox explores the home, it finds piles of wrapping paper and rows of empty shelves. When spring arrives, the man and the fox venture outside, but soon the man begins a flurry of work—drawing, painting, sewing, and building. Slowly, the empty shelves fill with treasures, ready for the most magical night of the year.
Polly Faber’s gentle storytelling, paired with Richard Jones’s enchanting, detailed illustrations, offers a delightful glimpse into Santa’s year-round preparations in this fresh holiday tale.
