A warm and festive tale about the special friendships that blossom when the magic of Christmas is in the air.

Angelo and Angelina were two toy angels.
Angelo was the bigger angel, Angelina the little one.
Mrs Lovely got them in her stocking when she was just a little girl.

Angelo and Angelina spend a lifetime with Mrs Lovely, observing the magic and joy of Christmas from her windowsill. But when Mrs Lovely gets older, she spends more time on her own – and it’s then that Angelo and Angelina must use their magic to look out for her too, with the help of a special little neighbour.

A warm and magical story that celebrates community and the true meaning of Christmas, with beautiful, atmospheric illustrations throughout. The perfect tale to read aloud together on a cosy Christmas night.
