Description

Emma can’t wait for Christmas — the tree, the presents, the tasty turkey dinner!

Her dad and stepmum Susan want Christmas to be perfect, but things aren’t going to plan — and then their turkey disappears! Will Christmas be ruined?

As Emma encourages her parents to appreciate what they have, their neighbours — the Taylor-Wilsons, the Singhs and Mrs Angel — come knocking to share their own festive traditions and help the family have a very merry Christmas.

One Christmas in Our Building is a unique and heart-warming picture book about community spirit and the true meaning of the festive season. Johanna Lindemann beautifully, and amusingly, captures a child’s perspective on Christmas, and Andrea Stegmaier’s illustrations are lively, textured and full of fun details to spot.
