Lots of crazy ideas for costume ideas!Finally, discover the mission entrusted to your child by the Christmas family composed of Berthe and Léon, their two dogs Lightning and Comet - who will surprise everyone with a big surprise -, the Elves, and the nice reindeer.
Through its Christmas tale, the association Angelique's stories takes advantage of Santa Claus' fame to convey two strong messages to children:That of not making fun of "different" children, for little Léon, future Santa Claus, is an overweight boy, and little Berthe, future Mother-Christmas, is very thin, and they are therefore rejected and mocked by the other children.
Moreover, both characters do not know their parents, and live in an orphanage.So the second message is to teach the children not to make fun of children who live in a home and do not know their family.
Through her Christmas tale, Angélique tries to awaken children to the difference in their daily lives and to teach them respect and kindness, like all of her wonderful books.
