The Amigurumis Christmas (Part 1)
32 pages
The Amigurumis prepare for Christmas in this exciting festive adventure full of magic and friendship.
Part one of the Christmas story. The four Amigurumis get ready for the holiday, and because each of them comes from a different part of the world, each arrives with a different idea of what Christmas should be. That disagreement is the engine of the story: there is no villain and no problem to solve, there are four friends who want the same thing in four different ways. It is a kind of conflict a four year old recognises immediately, because it happens to them every week with their own friends.
What this piece works on
- That the same holiday is celebrated differently in different places, and that no one way is the right one.
- Negotiating: reaching agreement without anyone having to give up everything.
- Waiting as part of the enjoyment rather than an obstacle.
Watching together
This is part one of two, so it helps to have the second ready. One question that tends to open a conversation: at home, what is the one Christmas thing that can never be missing?
