But as the war draws closer, Tómas devises a plan to ensure his Grandfather’s stories will still be at the heart of his family’s Christmas – even if it means being braver than a boy ever dreamed he could be. Donning his grandfather's jumper for courage, working hard at chores for neighbours, he takes his hard earned pennies to shop for presents - only to find all the shops empty of stock. This is war time and rationing. There is just one shop still open - a bookshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-publisher-paragraph=\"\"\u003eInspired by the Icelandic tradition of Jólabókaflóðið, where books are given as gifts on Christmas Eve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nekoto Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":67653169021202,"sku":null,"price":22.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0868\/7072\/0786\/files\/IMG_7282.webp?v=1793397250","url":"https:\/\/nekotobooks.com\/products\/the-christmas-book","provider":"Nekoto Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
