Debut children’s book author Angeli Elliott wanted to make Christmas a magical time for her children but found existing books too focused on avoiding the naughty list or about saving Christmas. Instead, she invented a wondrous world of elves who left her children daily whimsical rhyming notes during the month December focused on what makes the season magical. From her own family’s tradition comes Elliott’s Festival of the Elves – The Magic Around You, a beautifully illustrated story of elf siblings Holly and Noel and their quest to bring a secret note tradition to human families. The first book in the trilogy is written under the pen name of Holly Figgyworth, who recounts the adventure focused on the magical power of giving, gratitude and joyous celebration. To compliment the picture book the Festival of the Elves released a 94-page Activity Book fill with elf codes, facts, puzzles and beautifully illustrated coloring pages. To complete the experience families can reenact the elf tradition when they register for free elf notes at festivaloftheelves.com. The second book in the Festival of the Elves series is scheduled to launch in 2023 and will provide insight into the intriguing world of North Pole elves and how they become magical beings.
