My Review

Stella and her family love Christmas, the colourful lights, Christmas scents around the house and, particularly for Stella, working as one of Santa’s elves in the local shopping mall. 

So when her nine-year-old daughter Millie decides she doesn’t believe in Santa Claus anymore Stella is devastated. And Millie is in no mood to listen to her mother’s beliefs and explanations, accusing her of lying. 

Doubts set in and as Stella begins a search to prove to Millie, and herself, that Santa Claus does exist, she discovers a secret that undermines everything she believed and, like Millie, blames her mother. The magic has gone and Stella is disillusioned with the whole concept of Christmas. 

It’s difficult to know what to say when your child gets to the stage of not believing in Father Christmas, it’s such a let down and Christmas does lose some of its sparkle. But when the mother hasn’t lost belief in the magic of Christmas it must be doubly difficult.

Him With The Beard is a sweet short story with a lovely conclusion. It’s about love and family, showing that Christmas, and Santa, means different things to each person and joy can easily be found in the season. 

I chose to read and review Him With The Beard based on a copy of the book supplied by Rachel’s Random Resources and the author. 

About the Book

Do you remember that moment you stopped believing in Santa Claus?

When nine-year-old Mille suddenly no longer believes in Santa Claus, it turns the house upside down.

Her mother, Stella, is in a pickle as the hunt to find Santa Claus unearths some family secrets.

Christmas is at risk!

And there’s only one person who can save it.

About the Author

Pernille was born in 1988 and loves that she was born in the decade with the tallest hair, the most colourful clothes, and the best music. Her imagination never stands still, and it’s often expressed in words and pictures. She wrote her first story when she was six years old. It was about the cat she unfortunately never got but wished for more than anything. She loves autumn and Christmas and believes in elves.

From day to day she is a knight in training, an animator, and a secret agent – she has saved the world a few times by now. She’s also a professional daydreamer.

She thinks the recipe for a good book is the same as the one for having a good life – a sense of kinship, humour, love, and that one thing that gives you a daily smile.

Vestercity is a fictional city based on her upbringing near the city of Herning in Denmark.
