Mavzi and the Christmas Wish

A heartwarming Christmas picture book for children aged 3–7. Coming 1 December 2026.

What makes the perfect Christmas present?

Mavzi wants to find the perfect Christmas 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 gifts aren’t always things you can wrap.

Set in the magical world of Quivori, Mavzi and the Christmas Wish is an illustrated festive story about friendship, kindness and the joy of being together. A cosy choice for sharing at bedtime during the Christmas season.
