Product Information

Lauren is also a passionate advocate for visual literacy and the importance of quality picture books for children. An important plot device is the Ruby Redfort collection, a series of fictional books in which Clarice Bean and Betty Moody frequently find inspiration. Clarice is on a mission to keep the holiday spirit alive, and she’ll need to rally around her friends and family to do it. Child’s illustrations and collages perfectly complement the text and bring the characters, setting, and Christmas spirit to life.

A delightful story to read this time of the year about the wonder of Christmas and with an added special message of hope, compassion and humankind.It was so good for me, I think I will read it in October every year as a little warm up for the Christmas season and to give myself a boost to keep the Christmas Spirit from evaporating.

This will mark the first time in the 50-year history of the themed Fenwick Christmas window that a live recording will be used to accompany the display. Find out about the latest book in the 'Girl, Missing' series, Secret Sister, in this short video by author Sophie McKenzie. She's worked with mixed media, pioneered text as an integral part of illustration and collaborated with artists across different fields. Everyone is scattering to different places and Clarice is afraid that the spirit of Christmas will be lost.

We are delighted to bring this year’s story to life for the global Fenwick community in our 140th anniversary year. But luckily, there is no one in the world like Clarice Bean - and she is going to THINK LIKE AN ELF, and that means everything will be A-OKAY. Betty also loves dogs, and in the first book she received a dog from Clarice's grandad's best friend.

Even if you’ve never read a Clarice Bean book before, you will fall in love with this brilliantly narrated story of thinking about others, doing kind things and believing that your biggest Christmas wishes can come true.A small number of invited guests, including children and families from Fenwick’s partner schools, hospitals and charities, watched the incredible reveal in person. I hope Lauren Child will be writing more in the series as it is wonderful to have the adorable Clarice Bean back for more adventures. Clarice Bean fans rejoice: the star of highly illustrated chapter books (and of picture books) brings her trademark exuberant stream-of-consciousness narration (with occasional sly authorial snark) to Christmas.
