A feast of festive laughter by the team behind Supertato. Twinkly lights, trees, tinsel – and trouble! It’s nearly Christmas, and every tree on Sidney Street is shining and sparkling. Well, every tree except one! This rebellious Christmas tree has no time for tinsel or glittery baubles. He wants to eat Christmas dinner at the table, not stand about looking pretty in a pot. The naughty tree gets up to all sorts of tricks to get out of being decorated. He hides under the sofa, dresses up as a cracker and even pretends he’s gone out. His naughty antics are going to ruin Christmas! Until a bauble has a bright idea…

A funny festive picture book to read aloud at Christmas

By the best-loved creators of Supertato and Snowball

This naughty yet loveable tree is an irresistible creation

Kids will adore the anarchic story and vibrant artwork

Author/Illustrator

Sue Hendra

Sue Hendra is the wonderfully funny, award-winning author and illustrator of some of our favourite picture books, like Barry the Fish with Fingers and Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell.

Sue has always loved drawing and art was definitely the highlight of her school timetable. As she got older the prospect of going away to study art at university and LEAVE HOME was very enticing. She decided she wanted to go to Brighton and that’s where she did, in fact, end up doing her degree. Sue had a great time and got a job with Harry Potter publisher Bloomsbury immediately after she left.

Sue was hugely fortunate enough to hone her skills as an illustrator whilst she worked for the likes of Bloomsbury, Walker Books, Oxford University Press, Macmillan etc, illustrating and writing picture books. She has now been working as an illustrator and author for fifteen years and still loves it.
