Discover Upside-Down Christmas , an original children's book by Charly Delwart (text) and Charles Dutertre (illustrations), published by Marcel & Joachim. In this very special land, they celebrate Christmas… backwards: they put the presents back in their wrapping paper, they "regurgitate" the Christmas Eve turkey, and the next day, Santa Claus leaves… without the presents! Instead, he leaves a glass of milk and some cookies.
Through 25 charming sequences to read day after day, each day of Advent, this book invites children (aged 5 and up) to rediscover the magic of Christmas. This poetic and whimsical tale also conveys an ecological message: what if a simpler Christmas could be just as joyful?
