      About the book.

      Jimmy Tickle’s Christmas is a heartwarming story that shows how one act of kindness can change the world.

      Little Jimmy Tickle is the sweetest, kindest little boy who has a lot to contend with.

      He is an extraordinary young friend to all, and whilst there was no one to feel proud of him, as such, had there been someone, they would have been very proud indeed.

      A late-night visitor arrives on Christmas Eve. Rather than Santa Claus, Jimmy discovers a man desperate to get a Christmas present for his children. Jimmy chats with him for a while and ultimately gives the man two of his three meager presents to take home for his children.

      News of the kindness spreads and Jimmy Tickle has the kind of Christmas he has longed for. The story ends in tears…of joy.

      'Jimmy Tickle’s Christmas' shines a festive light on how compassion and positivity can overcome adversity. How right can overwhelm and defeat wrong-doing. And how children are sometimes cleverer than their parents!

Yet the light that shone within him was brighter than a thousand Christmas lights. You see Jimmy Tickle was one of those beautiful, caring souls, who was undaunted by anything life threw at him. At ten years old he had a lot on his plate with many more problems than your average boy. You would think he might be a little down in the dumps. His mother Candice suffered terribly with her nerves. She cried a lot. She drank a lot. She often lay in bed for days, and Jimmy Tickle had to fend for himself as well as look after his Mum, at the same time. This didn’t mean Candice didn’t love Jimmy; not at all, she loved him with all her heart. She was just unwell and so it sometimes didn’t show as much as perhaps it should
