About the Book

With a nasty bug sweeping the globe, Santa’s workshop is forced to close and all his elves placed into lockdown. Without access to the high tech toy-making machines in the workshop, there’s no way the elves can possibly make all the toys they need this Christmas, and they fall into despair. Could this be the year that the magic of Christmas is lost forever? The newest, youngest and smallest elf on record refuses to accept this thought and wants nothing more than to make Christmas magic for all the children on Santa’s list. Inspired by her own bow-tying skills, she starts making gifts from whatever she can find. But her parents, convinced that the only way to make toys today is by pushing buttons on a machine, tell her it’s pointless. The smallest elf stumbles upon an old workshop in her back garden, full of tools and perfectly matched to her size. The workshop was her Gran’s - a small elf too - and inspired, she quickly learns how to make toys out of wool, wood and other things with the help of her animal friends. Just when she thinks she’s cracked it, she learns from Santa that the only way he can make the sleigh fly is to make EVERY SINGLE PRESENT on the list. And she’s way, way off. Luckily the other small elves in the village have been watching this saga unfold. Keen to save Christmas too, they join her in making every last toy in one epic final push on Christmas Eve Eve — ready for Santa to fill his sleigh and take the toys out to the world. As the sleigh takes to the sky we realise that Mikka has done it! Saved Christmas for all - It’s astounding, the things you can do when you’re small.

Sam is the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Friendly Giants, helping brands like the BBC, notonthehighstreet.com, Merlin Entertainments, Netflix and more to find the story that gets people interested, engaged and excited. Sam was the originator of the ‘Christmas is Cancelled’ idea who then worked alongside Gavin and Nico to develop the tale and bring it to life. -- Gavin Leisfield - As a boy Gavin became obsessed with Doctor Seus, writing and illustration in general. Today he is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer at Friendly Giants, helping to bring brands to life through design, content and advertising. Gavin and Sam are the founding Friendly Giants and on this project, Gavin was the rhyming whizz behind the story bringing the words and magic to life. -- Nicolò Mereu - Nico is a traveling illustrator and Friendly Giant who calls too many places 'home'. Dedicated to picture making in one craft or another, he lent himself to graphics, animation and illustration for several clients, always hunting for a good story to bring to life. On this project, Nico was the artist elf who turned the ideas and rhymes into lines and colours. 

Review :
'This book will make you believe in the magic of small things. A timely reminder, my friends, that sometimes the small things in life are in fact the big things.' Father Christmas -- 'A much needed, joyful tale or the magic of Christmas, framed within our current challenging landscape. The underlying wellbeing themes of resilience, coping with change and social connection, combined with the promotion of playful dispositions such as wonder, curiosity and perseverance, make this a heartwarming story for early years and beyond.' Lynsey Burke, Primary School Head Teacher
