Christmas Fairies for Ouma

This heartwarming picture book celebrates the far-reaching love between a grandparent and grandchild and the small acts of kindness that spread cheer across continents at Christmas.

Wanting to share a snowy American Christmas with her faraway Ouma (grandmother), young Tessa mails a handmade Christmas card with a drawing of fairies.

The card is a lovely gesture of love but is addressed with only Ouma and Cape Town, South Africa, and has no street address, no recipient name, and no real stamps.

Follow the magical journey of this unique Christmas card as it travels over 10,000 miles across the world. Instead of being discarded, the card is passed from the hand of one kind postal worker or stranger to the next, relying on a chain of goodwill and connection to reach its improbable destination.

Readers are left to ponder: Is the card's miraculous delivery due to kindness or Christmas magic?

With gorgeous illustrations, hidden fairies on every page, and a heartwarming message of caring and connection, Christmas Fairies for Ouma shares Christmas joy and celebrates the love between a grandparent and grandchild.
