Illustrated by Kilmeny Niland.
Christmas in the middle of an Australian summer means Santa has to find new ways to deliver his presents. The obvious solutions are to don a sun hat, shorts and a pair of thongs, not to mention ditching the sleigh and reindeer in favour of some roos and a ute.
Every line of this traditional verse has been remodelled, replete with Aussie references. The gentle illustrations are packed with familiar icons cleverly woven into the visual narrative to re-create the warm, comforting, family atmosphere that Christmas is all about.
