From the bestselling author-illustrator, Charles Fuge, comes an endearing story of Little Wombat and his friends celebrating Christmas on the beach.
Its Christmas and Little Wombat and his friends are so excited to celebrate! They have a fun-filled Christmas day planned with carols, decorating and, of course, a big Christmas lunch at the beach. But with no Christmas tree in sight, the friends find something, or someone, else to decorate!
A heart-warming Christmas story celebrating friendship and family.
Charles Fuge (Charlie to his friends) was brought up in Bath where a fanatical interest in wildlife translated into the drawing of animals. Once at Camberwell School of Art (where he was tutored by woodcutter John Lawrence), he went on to win the Macmillan Prize in 1988 for Bush Varks First Day Out. This went on to win the Mother Goose Award the following year, and a career in childrens book illustration began.
Charles Fuge has since illustrated nearly 60 picture books, including Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball which was runner-up for the Kate Greenaway Medal 2001.
He lives in Dorset with his partner and son, and continues to write and illustrate for children.
