Grace is eagerly preparing for Christmas and wants to share the joy with her friend and neighbour, Theo. She invites him to play in the
snow, to eat Christmas cookies, and to write a list to Santa. But Theo is
angry and says he doesn’t like Christmas or Santa. Grace sets out to
understand what is causing Theo to feel this way. She comes up with a plan
and hopes it will restore his joy for the Christmas season. This book is the
first of its kind to use QR codes to promote an inclusive experience in one book.
