Granny McFlitter: The Knit Before Christmas

Fast-knitting Granny McFlitter is CRAFTIER THAN EVER in this award-winning Christmas story by Heather Haylock and Lael Chisholm. Granny McFlitter is back to save Christmas at the zoo, one lightning-quick stitch at a time! 'Twas the night before Christmas and down at the zoo, the keepers were ready; the animals, too...' All of a sudden there's a commotion - who has unravelled the animals' stockings? With Santa arriving any moment, the zookeepers call on a champion knitter for a Christmas Eve miracle! Can Granny McFlitter pull one - or should we say, purl one - out of her knitting bag? A delightfully knotty and knitty festive tale from the award-winning creators of Granny McFlitter.

Heather Haylock (Author) As a child, Heather Haylock could often be found reading a book while sitting on her horse, or perched way up high in a tree. She lives in Auckland where she has the best task in the world - helping five year olds learn to read books too. (But in a classroom, not on a horse or in a tree.) Heather loves the challenge of knitting words into stories. She is the author of Granny McFlitter the Champion Knitter, which was published in 2018 and shortlisted for the Best Picture Book category of the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults. Now, thanks to her research for Granny McFlitter, Heather is also able to knit yarn into jumpers. If you want to find her, try looking up. She may be reading or writing a book, or knitting a jumper, way up high in a tree. Lael Chisholm (Illustrator) Lael Chisholm has loved drawing ever since she was old enough to hold a pencil. After years of scribbling and doodling at school, home and any other place where a pen and paper was handy, she decided to call her scrawls art, and to share them with the world. Since winning the Storylines Gavin Bishop Award for Illustration in 2017, she has won acclaim for her fabulous work on the bestselling Granny McFlitter series by Heather Haylock, The Hug Blanket by Chris Gurney and Grandpa Versus Swing by Tanya Scott Sickling. She spends her free time drawing at her home in Palmerston North, New Zealand.
