What do you give someone who says they need nothing for Christmas? Mavzi is determined to find the perfect present for his friend Hedgehog. He tries a sparkling icicle, an enormous pine cone and some very noisy bells. But nothing quite goes to plan.

With a little help from Mouse and Badger, Mavzi discovers that the most wonderful Christmas presents aren’t always things you can wrap.

Mavzi and the Christmas Wish is a full-colour, 32-page Christmas picture book by Gary Alker, written for children aged 3–7. It’s a cosy story about friendship, kindness and spending time together.

Coming 1 December 2026. Discover the book, its cover and publication details.
