Picture Storybooks Personal & Social Issues: Self-Awareness & Self-Esteem
A joyful Christmas tale about a tiny reindeer finding his rightful place in the world, from Kate Greenaway shortlisted Chris Naylor-Ballesteros.
Meet Santa's smallest helper: Tiny Reindeer! He doesn't quite fit in, but when a very special letter arrives before Christmas Eve, he embarks on a mission to find his place in the world.
Tiny Reindeer just can't find his place in the busy North Pole. Being much smaller than the other reindeer, he's not very good at any of the jobs Santa gives him. But when a letter comes from a little girl with a Christmas wish to help keep the memory of her grandfather alive, Tiny knows exactly what he needs to do.
