A beautiful book featuring Julia Donaldson's signature lulling rhymes. I found it taught my young children to genuinely care about Stick Man's wellbeing! And it's Christmassy, which is always a plus.
A favorite in our house.
Beyond the playful narrative, the book also carries a heartwarming message about the importance of family and the power of perseverance. Stick Man's longing to be reunited with his loved ones resonates deeply, reminding readers of the bonds that hold us together, even in the face of adversity.

Totally wasn’t expecting Santa at the end, I should have read the reviews closer. But it was perfect during Christmas time. Just not a book we will read all year.
