Delicate watercolors evoke the wonder of childhood as Willow, the gentle bear, prepares for a perfect Christmas with all of his friends on Paradise Farm.

On the morning of Christmas Eve, Willow jumps out of bed, joyful to see that snow is falling. There's much to do - gathering holly, wrapping presents, and searching for just the right tree to trim with Little Pig Pink and the rest of his animal friends. Soon it's time to hang up the stockings and snuggle back into bed - with hopes that Santa Claus will come in the night.

Author Notes

Camilla Ashforth has written and illustrated many books for children. Among them are WILLOW ON THE RIVER and WILLW BY THE SEA, her first two stories about the inimitable character of Willow, who was inspired by a treasured teddy bear that she has kept since childhood.

Publisher's Weekly Review

Pastoral watercolors set a quietly reflective tone for this distinctly English tale of a small teddy bear celebrating the holidays with his friends at Paradise Farm. Presented mostly in panels and in oval and square vignettes, the art suits the cozy (about 8" by 7") format. Ashforth offers a charmingly idealized view of the holidays, from decorating and baking to a Christmas Eve celebration with a trio of other teddies. The illustrations include a priceless view of Willow's best friend, Little Pig Pink, hopefully clutching his as-yet-empty stocking in his sleep. Ages 3-6. (Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
