Publisher's Synopsis
No stockings, no gifts, no tinsel and no tree - has Christmas been cancelled? It's mid-December and for the fifth year in a row, there is little sign of the festive season in the Sullivans' home in South London. That is, until, a mysterious someone starts sending strange gifts to widower Henry and his two children. First, a small-beaked and feathered face pokes its head out from between the branches of a pear tree. Before they know it, their home is full of boisterous animals and house guests, all demanding their attention. The next 12 days turns the family upside down in ways they never could have imagined. And even though this Christmas will be messy, it may be just the gift they all need.
