A heart-warming story, set in the days leading up to Christmas, about one little girl's magical encounter with a unicorn. Christmas is just days away. A little girl called Milly and her Mum are staying at Grandpa's house. Dad has been kept away but will join them just as soon as he can. But Milly feels a little forlorn, away from her friends and without her Dad. And then something wonderful happens. Milly meets Florian, a unicorn. One snowy night, he patters into Grandpa's house and transforms Milly's Christmas, filling it with friendship, surprise and sparkle. And somehow, Florian makes all Milly's wishes come true. Anna Currey has crafted a beautifully written and sensitively illustrated picture book that will delight every generation as families come together at Christmas.

A little girl, a magical friend, a perfect Christmas.

About the Author
Anna Currey was born in Norfolk, and at 2 years old moved back to the family farm in Ireland where she grew up. At 20, she married and moved to England, but loves to go back to Ireland each summer, staying in a little house up in the hills two miles from where she was brought up. As a child, Anna was very fond of driving around in a pony cart pulled by her lovely fat skewbald pony, and her pop-up book version of Bambi is the favourite book from her childhood. Anna enjoys gardening and keeps an allotment as well as turning her hand to beekeeping.
