BRITTA TECKENTRUP

Our favourite hedgehog duo is back, discovering new traditions in a joyful holiday story. In their sixth adventure, Britta Teckentrup’s beloved hedgehogs step out of their winter den in search of the perfect Christmas tree. What begins as an unadorned fir in the snowy forest, gradually transforms as friends from near and far add their own ornaments according to their varying traditions—stockings and cookies for Santa Claus, paper crowns and crackers, even a lucky pickle. As the story unfolds, Teckentrup’s illustrations shift from quiet, wintry landscapes to colorful, radiant spreads filled with detail. Each page offers children the fun of spotting new decorations, while adults will admire the subtle artistry that mirrors the hedgehogs’ widening view of the world. The result is both a festive tale and a story of anticipation, wonder, and the shared spirit of the season, gently affirming that, while Christmas may be celebrated in many different ways, its heart is the same everywhere.

Britta Teckentrup’s most timely story yet is a warm and deeply felt tale of belonging, exclusion, and the power of community. One day, a yellow chair appears in a sunlit forest clearing — and nobody knows how it got there. Then another arrives, and another. As the clearing fills with creatures of every kind, a tender and joyful home takes shape, built on the simple pleasure of sharing a space with others. But when exclusionary signs begin to appear overnight, that spirit is put to the test — and the animals must find the strength to reclaim what they have built together. With her characteristic layered textures, glowing forest light, and richly populated scenes that reward slow looking, Teckentrup transforms a deceptively simple setting into a fully realized world where each creature has a face, a feeling, and a place to call its own. Funny, touching, and genuinely wise, with one particularly unforgettable scene involving a very large bear and a pair of woolly socks, The Chairs speaks directly to experiences children know from their own lives: the sting of being left out, the resolve it takes to stand up for others, and the joy of a community that welcomes all.
