It’s Christmas Eve and Bramble Glen is covered in a thick blanket of snow.

Leona and her friends gather to plan their Christmas. Leona is determined that her first Christmas in her precious kettle will be the best one yet. But as the fairies hunt for the perfect Christmas tree, things don’t quite go to plan.

Will the fairies be able to decorate Leona’s kettle in time for Christmas? More importantly, will they make it back in time to celebrate together?

"What a lovely little book. Fabulous illustrations and a lovely story. It's Christmas Eve and the fairy who lives in a kettle wants it to be special, but the heavy snow on her wings causes problems. Will the kettle be nicely decorated for Christmas?” – Pauline, Toppsta reviewer

Imaginative and engaging, highly mystical and whimsical story full of Symbolism… Beautifully illustrated and depicted in the characterization, setting, and in the prose. Tait truly created her own Christmastime Myth, which everyone can appreciate!

-Gayle G., NetGalley reviewer

Overall, this is a heartwarming story that perfectly captures the spirit and the magic of Christmas. Beautiful illustrations will help the reader visualize this story, making it the perfect Christmastime read. Friendship and following your dreams is the central theme, and will reinforce a positive message to young readers. I would definitely recommend The Fairy in the Kettle's Christmas Wish!
