The last Christmas card

THE LAST CHRISTMAS CARD
(Hannah and her Nanna)

This book is for life, not just for Christmas

This book's front cover looks and feels like a Christmas card, but don't be fooled by its appearance. It has been specially designed to be displayed as a Christmas Card ALL YEAR ROUND! Its content is for everyday life, not just for Christmas. When your friends and family think you have gone mad, asking why you have a Christmas card displayed on your bookshelf, even though the sun's sizzling heat is too hot to handle outside in the middle of summer . . . just tell them . . . this is not a card, it's a book. THIS IS A BOOK FOR LIFE, NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS.

The book explores the extra special relationship between Hannah and her Nanna, who have formed an inseparable bond through the loss of someone very close to their hearts.
Nanna is a minor celebrity and an internationally renowned spokesperson for the 'SAVE OUR CHRISTMAS' campaign. She has taken on (and beaten) big organisations all over the world, preventing their attempts of ruining Christmas for everyone, including Santa's Elves being bullied by Trolls. Although sorting out the world's problems, nanna can't seem to get to the bottom of her own granddaughter's argumentative and disruptive behaviour.
Can nanna put her own house in order by finding out what is troubling her precious granddaughter? Can she stop other Christmas traditions from falling from the top of the Christmas tree or save her own reputation from becoming yet another broken bauble . . .? Throughout this story, issues faced by young people of today are tackled with wise words, humour, and morality. It addresses problems of online abuse, explores the values of family life, visits internet addiction, racial abuse, death, mental issues and through nanna's unique analogy, demonstrates ways of stopping bullies . . . a must for any young reader and the young at heart.

Nanna is concerned the traditional of giving Christmas cards is becoming a thing of the past. Many of the older generation like to receive such cards as it shows people care and is a very important part of their Christmas (especially as many don't have access to computers to send or receive messages), She also believes it would be good for youngster's to carry on this tradition, showing true friendship through the giving of a handwritten Christmas card to friends and family (more personal than a text). Support Nanna's quest in keeping Christmas alive by displaying the book as a Christmas card and sending out recyclable Christmas cards (not shiny or glittery).

Nanna quotes

"The choosing of the right door and the closing of wrong ones, is a very important part of life."

"It's not the presence of a present the children need, it's the present of their father's presence."

"If you don't have a go, then you'll never know."

"I know it sounds like a contradiction in terms, but 'death is part of life'."

This book has so much more to offer than just another story. It is a story of family life, emotional heartbreak . . . and at the same time . . . heart warming with great moral lessons to be learnt. Don't forget, this book is for life, put it on display as a conversation piece and for reference ALL YEAR ROUND! . . . IT'S FUN!
