    Christma BookWith Christmas just around the corner, Little Dragon Publishing is pleased to announce the release of its first book, The Thing I Say I Saw Last Night: A Christmas Story written by Wendy McKernan and illustrated by Izabela Bzymek. 

    Reading level: Ages 3-8

    Hardcover: 32 pages

    Book overview: The Thing I Say I Saw Last Night is a humorous picture book with engaging rhyming text and vivid yet whimsical full color illustrations.

    The story begins with a boy waking up his younger sister to tell her about an incredible event that took place the night before. When he tells her he heard a strange noise, she imagines the worst – a purple, hairy, scary-looking monster. However, as the story progresses, more details emerge and the character she envisions goes through a series of changes until the final surprise ending.

    This original Christmas story is for children aged 3 to 8 and will appeal to both boys and girls, and to adults who remember the magic of Christmas.

    About the author: After obtaining a Bachelor in Elementary Education from the University of Victoria, Wendy taught and traveled in Asia and Europe for five years before moving to Vancouver, BC to embark on a career in the film and television industry. She now has numerous producer credits for both documentary and scripted television, and is currently producing movies for the small screen.

      Can one ever have too many Christmas stories? Not in my opinion.
