Jackson meets Father Christmas and goes on a magical journey around the world.
Determined not to fall asleep and wait for Father Christmas, Jackson dashed downstairs after hearing a thud on the roof at his home in London. But to his surprise, he faces a ”small man” who is also unsure how to introduce himself. As always, honesty works best. A minor health issue, a twisted ankle from Father’s Christmas, makes Jackson willing to help deliver the presents with him on this crucial night. The unforgettable trip marked with ”superspeed” spreads from France, the beach to the South Pole. How will the duo tackle the issue with the forgotten sack? What are the chances of the newborn baby to miss his first Christmas?
“The Night I Met Father Christmas”, an adaptation of Ben Miller’s middle-grade book, is a tale of re-celebrating the magic, the excitement, and, most importantly, sharing with others, combined with a modern twist in a non-traditional Santa’s appearance, which might provoke some questions. Elisa Paganelli offers young readers a visual feast of Christmas scenes at home or outside at night where the real Christmas magic is happening.
“The Night I Met Father Christmas” offers valuable London sceneries and beyond!
