Devon has lost the one person who makes him feel safe: his twin sister, Eliza. Placed in Tessa's care just days before Christmas, frightened seven-year-old Devon hides beneath the bed and in quiet corners. Tessa never forces him to come out. Willow, her clever seizure-alert assistance dog, simply lies nearby and waits. When Willow alerts Devon to one of Tessa's seizures, he must find the courage to call for help. For the first time, Devon discovers that being frightened does not mean he cannot be brave. But when he believes Eliza will not be allowed to join him for Christmas, Devon slips out alone to find her. Willow follows, using her remarkable sense of smell to track Eliza through snowy streets and a bustling Christmas market. Finding her is only the beginning. Afraid of being separated again, the twins make a dangerous plan-and Willow must guide them safely home. As Tessa fights to keep the children together, Christmas Eve brings an unexpected visitor, mysterious presents and a little magic no one can explain. Willow Saves Christmas is a warm, hopeful children's story about courage, sibling love, foster care, epilepsy awareness, kindness and belonging. An uplifting festive read for ages 6-9, families, schools and shared story time.
