Congrats to Mark Carthew on the publication of

Marvin and Marigold:  A Christmas Surprise

In this second picture book in the Marvin and Marigold series Mark Carthew's evocative verse expresses the spirit of the festive season and the power of family memories, while Simon Prescott's illustrations bring to life the magic of Christmas.
