This book is perfect for any animal lovers at home

Christmas will be here before we know it and there’s no doubt some children already have their Santa letters written and ready for delivery.

One thing we’re always eager to buy at Christmas is a book because it helps children in so many ways.

It inspires them and boosts their imagination, but it also helps them develop so many skills.

One book bound to be on many kids’ Christmas lists this year is Fia and the Last Snow Deer.

The charming book is perfect if you’ve got a child fascinated by animals and nature.

Eilish Fisher has penned the most powerful but beautiful book that’ll teach them about pre-historic Ireland.

Containing messages of hope, kindness, and the power of friendship, this book is perfect for children.

Stunning illustrations from Dermot Flynn accompany Eilish Fisher’s powerful words in this story.

You can read the full synopsis below:

Born under the same solstice sky thirteen years ago, Fia and her snow deer Solas have always had a powerful and unbreakable connection. But as Fia’s village face a seemingly eternal winter, they turn their sights to Solas and an ancient prophecy that promises the return of sunlight and life, if the ultimate sacrifice is made . . .

Refusing to allow the worst to happen, Fia and her cousin Mish run from the village with Solas, seeking out the Deer Mother.

The mythical being who wakes the sun at the winter solstice and who might be their only hope.

But the wilderness is harsh and shadows lurk at every turn. Can they make it to the Deer Mother? And, if they do, what choices will Fia face to bring back the sun and save her village?

What book will you be picking up for the kids this Christmas?
