Flit is a small, oval shaped bird that longs for a White
Christmas with all the trimmings. He sets off from his warm nest in the South
to see life in the Northern Hemisphere. And what does he find?
A white Christmas was wonderful. But there was no Christmas more perfect
than a Christmas with family and friends. A gentle and subtly told story with meticulous images by a
newcomer to this genre, Patrick McDonald, who was the winner of the 2013
Storylines Gavin Bishop Award for Picture Book Illustration.

I took this picture of Kyle and Patrick at the launch at the Children’s Bookshop at Kilbirnie
last night. Kyle told us that Flit’s wishes have a parallel in real life. Some
time ago he and his wife wanted to experience the magic of a White Christmas so
they left their warm home in Millers Flat and travelled to the Northern Hemisphere.
However what met them was not sparkling snow – just cold and damp. This year
they will celebrate in the (hopefully) broiling hot sun in Millers Flat, Central Otago.
