Amor and the White Christmasa Christmas picture book for ages 3-8
Amor is a curious kitten, and this year he gets a cosy, snowy Nordic Christmas. Amor and the White Christmas and its companion Amor Celebrating the New Year are two holiday specials in the Amor series by Samaher Thabit and Martin Törnell. Both are coming this season.
5 ways to make a Christmas read-aloud magic
- Tip 1
Make it a ritual
Same time, same blanket, a few evenings before Christmas. Children love knowing what comes next.
- Tip 2
Let them be the cat
Ask your child to meow or tiptoe like Amor whenever he appears. Moving keeps little listeners with the story.
- Tip 3
Point and name
Pause on each picture: "Where is the snow? What is Amor looking at?" Short questions build words.
- Tip 4
Link it to your holiday
Talk about what your family does at Christmas, and what is the same or different from Amor's home.
- Tip 5
Keep it short when tired
Holiday days are big. It is fine to read half and finish tomorrow.
Two holiday specials
The New Year special continues the season, a gentle way to talk with little ones about counting down, staying up late and starting something new.
