When an old man moves in next door, everyone is too busy to notice. Except for one little girl, who's absolutely sure he must be Santa Claus!

A heartwarming Christmas story book for kids from exciting new talent Harriet Howe.

When an old man moves in next door, everyone is too busy to notice, except one little girl. He's got a white beard and a round tummy and is very handy at repairing toys in his workshop - he must be Santa Claus!

When the old man becomes unwell, the little girl hatches a plan to rally the whole street together to look after Santa. But will he be better in time for Christmas Eve . . . ?

This playful, festive story celebrates the joy of community and gently explores the theme of looking out for the elderly, especially during the holiday season. With beautiful, cosy illustrations from the hugely talented Julia Christians (Magnificent Mabel) and a gently humorous text, this is the perfect Christmas Eve box filler. Alongside Pick a Pine Tree by Patricia Toht and Jarvis, Dasher by Matt Tavares and The Christmas Eve Tree by Delia Huddy and Emily Sutton, The Street Where Santa Lives is a modern-classic Christmas picture book.

Harriet's first word was 'book', and she's loved stories ever since, so it's a dream come true to end up writing her own. When not writing, Harriet works in television. But she's happiest with a pencil in one hand, a cup of tea in the other, brewing up her next story.
