When Avinngaq, the lemming, overhears some children singing about Christmas, she can't help but wonder about this new holiday. Qimmiq, the sled dog, knows all about Christmas. It's the time of year when Santa brings presents to put under your tree! But...what is a tree? There aren't any trees in the Arctic, where Avinngaq lives, so she decides to go on the hunt for a tree in order to have her very first merry Christmas. Filled with charming holiday illustrations featuring sweet Arctic animals, this book offers a warm and inviting new take on beloved Christmas traditions.
