Set during London's most festive time of year and filled with delicious food, Anita Hughes's Christmas in London reminds us that love and forgiveness are truly the greatest gifts of all.
It’s a week before Christmas, and Louisa Graham is working twelve hour shifts at a bakery on Manhattan's Lower East Side. When a young cooking show assistant comes in from the rain and begs to buy all the cinnamon rolls on her tray, she doesn’t know what to do. Louisa is just the baker, and they aren't hers to sell. But the show burned the rolls they were supposed to film that day; so she agrees.
The next morning, Louisa finds out that her cinnamon rolls were a hit, but the star of the show was allergic, and the whole crew is supposed to leave for London that afternoon. They want Louisa to step in for their annual Christmas Eve Dinner TV special at Claridge's. It’s a great opportunity, and Digby Bunting, Louisa’s famous baking idol, will be there. Even if he does seem more interested in her than her food.
And then there’s Kate, the show's beautiful producer. On their first day in London she runs into the skinny boy she jilted at St. Andrew's in Scotland ten years ago. Now he’s a handsome, brilliant mathematician, and newly divorced. Their familiar spark is still there, but so is the scar of how they left things. Kate and Louisa are busy preparing for the show, but old and new flames are complicating their work. This enchanting novel is a delicious holiday treat!

It's Gator's first day at his new office job, and he is surrounded
by quirky personalities like the slow slug, the obedient dog, the
aggressive hawk, and the chatty chicken. He is eager to fit in with his
new co-workers, so he tries to be like them. But acting like everyone
else doesn't work out for him, and he learns a valuable lesson about
himself instead. Featuring hand-drawn illustrations, vibrant colors, and
rhymes, Animals at the Office sparks dialogue regarding first-day
jitters, fitting in with new crowds, and embracing one's own special
traits despite being surrounded by others who are different. Adults may
relate to the featured characters based on their own experiences at an
office and can use the book to talk more with children about their own
job and what going to work means for them.
