During a drought plagued Christmas you, or someone you know, may enjoy the following children's Christmas stories held in the Curriculum Collection at JCU Library.
 |
| Bubbay is a hopeful story full of magic, combined with richly textured illustrations of Australian
plants and animals. It offers a glimpse of how the natural and
spiritual worlds can intervene in making ordinary lives better. |
 |
| Applesauce and the Christmas miracle describes an orange evening,
tiger-striped with blackened trees. A pig sits upon a dam bank, fondly
reminscing. Against a rural Australian setting of drought and bushfire, a
little pig called Applesauce learns that Christmas comes from the
heart. |
