Stella Baggott: Advent Calendar to Colour

Advent Calendar to Colour


Description

This is a delightful advent calendar with cardboard gatefolds which open to reveal a busy street scene with masses of things to colour. Behind each die-cut window there's little picture to colour in every day in the run-up to Christmas. You'll find Santa with a pile of presents, busy elves, skating mice, an angelic angel, a skiing penguin and lots, lots more. It stands independently, so will make a fantastic Christmas display, too.

Shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award, this is an unforgettable collection of powerful stories by a stunning young voice from Zimbabwe. A woman in a township is surrounded by dusty children but longs for a baby of her own; an old man finds that his job making coffins at No Matter Funeral Parlour brings unexpected riches; a politician's widow stands quietly by at her husband's funeral as his colleagues bury an empty casket. Petina Gappah's characters may have ordinary hopes and dreams, but they are living Advent Calendar to Colour ebook pdf in a world where a loaf of bread costs half a million dollars - a country expected to have only four presidents in a hundred years. In this spirited debut, Gappah evokes the resilience and inventiveness of the people who struggle to live under Robert Mugabe's regime whilst also battling issues common to all people everywhere: failed promises, unfulfilled dreams, and the yearning for something to anchor them to life.
