Winner of the 2014 Bologna Ragazzi Award for Fiction, Marguerite's Christmas is a visually stunning exploration of solitude and surprise.

An old woman will no longer leave her house, not even on Christmas. She prefers to stay home, rather than take the risk of falling or coming down with a cold. She settles into the solitude and isolation of her safe, interior world. But just as she's about to enjoy a peaceful dinner in front of the TV, her doorbell rings....

This is a touching story about overcoming fear, and the role of chance in life. It's also a lovely Christmas story.
