I had to clean my oven to take this photo. It’ll make sense when you read the book so you should probably go and get the book. (I also hit my head on the grill twice whilst cleaning, so I’d appreciate the support.)🙏🏾

Dave Pigeon (Turkey Dinner!) is out NOW! 🦃

This is a brilliantly funny Santa story, PERFECT for Christmas. Alongside the hilarious action-packed Santa antics, there’s a wonderful grandparent-grandson relationship that explores grief and kindness. I know so many young readers who will LOVE sharing this one. Thank you @storymix.bsky.social 🎅🏾
