Little People, Big Dreams: 2026 Advent Calendar Book Collection

What it is: A very special way to count down to Christmas, with a brand-new mini book to unwrap and share together each day. Each story introduces children to incredible trailblazers, pioneers and dreamers who changed the world, from Rihanna and Freddie Mercury to Beyoncé, Michelle Obama, Harriet Tubman, Pelé, David Beckham, Agatha Christie and J.R.R. Tolkien.

Why we love it: This was a total sell-out for us last year, and we can see why! We love the idea of swapping chocolate for a story and making time to read together every day in the run-up to Christmas. And the best bit? These little books aren't just for the countdown - they become a growing collection of stories to enjoy year after year, making this a lovely Christmas tradition and keepsake that can be brought out again and again.

We recommend this for all ages to share.
