How the first page could read

On Christmas Eve, your child carried a little tree through the snowy street to the hall. Inside, chairs stood in a circle and a long table waited for games. By the window was an empty corner, just right for a tree. “I know what this room needs,” thought your child.

Your child’s name, look and little details replace these words, and the whole story is written for their age.

Why this story works

This gentle Christmas Eve story gives children aged 3–6 a clear, hands-on role: your child chooses what goes on a small tree and where it belongs in a hall used by many people. The choices can echo details you share during creation, such as favourite colours or a preferred decoration, so the pages feel rooted in your child’s own festive ideas. The plot stays close to familiar things—paper chains, baubles, a window corner and neighbours gathering—rather than a big event. It offers plenty to spot and talk about on each illustrated spread, including how decorations can make a shared space feel ready for everyone.

Reading it together

• Before reading, ask your child which decoration they would choose first and why.
• Pause at each decoration page to look for colours, shapes and places where something could hang.
• Afterwards, let your child draw a paper decoration for a room your family shares.

Suggested art style: Storybook watercolour

Storybook watercolour gives the snowy street, paper decorations and warm hall a soft, handmade feel. A sidekick idea: a helpful neighbour carrying a tin of paper stars. You can pick any of the four styles and change the details in the form.
