IT’S THE MOST EXCITING TIME OF THE YEAR…
Maisey Morley is a little polar bear who was made by Santa's elves as a Christmas gift. It’s Christmas Eve and Maisey is very excited because Santa is preparing to deliver her to her new home! Follow Maisey’s Christmas adventure as Santa makes some hard decisions. Which child’s Christmas tree will the little polar bear be under on Christmas morning?
Anne Jewitt and Claire Brown are sisters. The family moved from England when they were children and both went through school in New Zealand where Anne later trained and worked as a primary school teacher before returning to England to live and work. Claire remained in New Zealand and wrote a series of children’s books, originally intended to entertain her children. With a view to getting the stories published Claire turned to her big sister, Anne to provide some illustrations. Always the more artistic in the family, Anne had used the COVID lockdown to hone her skills and the two sisters collaborated together to make a series of children’s books.
Although they live on opposite sides of the globe, the sisters are very close. Anne Jewitt currently lives in Hampshire, England and Claire Brown lives in Diamond Harbour, a coastal village in the South Island of New Zealand. Maisey Morley’s First Christmas, published by Nightingale books in January 2022, is the first story about the little polar bear who has many mischievous adventures along with her friends.
