Bramble and the Gift With No Name: A Winter Story About Giving in Secret (Ages 3-7)

Snow has come to Windy Hill, and this winter Bramble the hedgehog has plenty. So he carries firewood to his friends - proudly, and where everyone can see. But being helped in front of everybody makes his friends go quiet. So Bramble tries something else: he starts leaving his gifts at night, and telling nobody at all. There is only one problem. Snow remembers. Every footprint leads from Bramble's own round door straight to the thing he left - and now the whole wood is out to catch whoever the Winter Friend is. When they decide it must be somebody else, and thank her for everything Bramble did, he has to decide what a good deed is really worth when nobody will ever know it was yours. A warm winter read-aloud about quiet kindness, for ages 3 to 7: nineteen full-colour watercolour spreads, the same friends from Bramble and the Runaway Acorns, and an ending that stays secret.
