Children’s Laureate 2022-24 Joseph Coelho captures the warmth, fun and Christmas magic by putting a massive all-inclusive hug all around it.
Luna is used to a happy Christmas sometimes with her mum and sometimes with her dad. This year she is sharing with everyone, as mum and dad are both volunteering to make sure that everyone can have a very happy Christmas. Taking presents and food to people in need in homes all around her community on the night before Christmas with mum, Luna enjoys playing with new friends and listening to a special new Christmas story before making Christmas cookies with her dad and falling asleep exhausted. And, on Christmas Day itself, along with her mum, dad and grandparents, she enjoys the best Christmas ever with everyone. And Santa, of course!
