A Visit from Father Christmas

In a snowy world of glowing lights, hidden magic, and gentle Christmas wonder, three unforgettable stories bring the festive season to life for young readers learning French. From a noisy house in Colmar where Father Christmas arrives with an unexpected problem, to a silent village where the midnight bells have lost their song, and finally to Strasbourg where a broken star leads to a journey through memory and kindness, each tale reveals that Christmas magic is never simple, and never ordinary. These original bilingual French-English stories are written for beginner A1–A2 learners, using clear, accessible language to support reading confidence while keeping imagination at the heart of every page. Along the way, children will discover real French Christmas traditions, from le réveillon de Noël and les marchés de Noël to festive songs, snowy streets, and glowing village squares. Warm, magical, and full of heart, this collection shows that the true spirit of Christmas is found not in perfection, but in joy, family, and small acts of kindness. Perfect for classroom use, home reading, or bedtime stories, this book invites young learners to step into French through stories they will want to read again and again. Text in French and English.
