Good things come to those who face their fears.  Robbie Rabbit lived in a warren in a big city with his wife Rowena Rabbit and their nine kits. He called it their rabbit apartment. Robbie and his family were hunkering down for winter when an unexpected visitor makes an appearance.  A Friend for Christmas is the heartwarming tale of a very brave rabbit who faces his fears and makes a new friend at the magical time of the year.  He learns that friends can come in all shapes and sizes and Robbie and his family discover the joy of Christmas. This beautifully illustrated book is suitable for children of all ages. Especially those who still believe in the magic of Christmas. “This lovely fable tells the story of an unlikely friendship between a family of rabbits and a gray cat named Whisper. In these war-torn times, it’s an important reminder of our innate ability to choose live over fear.” – Amazon

Liliyana Shadowlyn: Book Review: A Friend for Christmas by Mike Martin

“This was an absolutely adorable and heart-warming story, perfect for kids this holiday season. The illustrations are wonderful, and will easily capture young readers’ attention. They fit the story well, and I think my favorite ones were when all the little rabbits were pictured. The story itself teaches kids not to judge people by their appearance, or based on what they think they know because of where someone comes from. It teaches them how to move past prejudice and maybe make an unexpected friend along the way. This is a great story to read anytime with your littles, but would also make a great gift for a book advent calendar leading up to Christmas!”

A FRIEND FOR CHRISTMAS is a heartwarming, cozy read to read to your children during the holidays or any time of the year. It will teach them so much about facing their fears and that just because someone is different doesn’t mean they can’t be friends.

Book Review at Word Magic

“A Friend for Christmas is a lovely story just in time for Christmas. Mike Martin introduces the concept of friends in all shapes, sizes and … wait for it … species! The spirit of Christmas and festivities filters through with the tall creatures (humans) putting up twinkling lights and beautiful decorations. From Whisper, Robbie and his family learn what Christmas is all about and that sometimes the greatest gift one can give someone is their friendship. This is the message of the festive season and one that parents will be pleased to see in this charming story. Other positive aspects of this book are the lessons Robbie and Rowena teach their children about road safety, the wonderful sense of a family playing and having fun together, new friendships, and learning about animals. Youngsters will also have fun with so many ‘r’ words in the rabbit family names! The illustrations are simple and clear and help to tell the story.”

Guest Blogging at The Story Behind the Book

“What I’ve discovered is that while they are written for children, maybe they’re not really for children at all, although children can read them. Maybe they are for all of us, to remind us of the joy that we felt at Christmas when we were children. If I could capture that and put it in a bottle, it would be a best-seller, for sure. Since I can’t do that, I try and put that spirit into these Christmas books and hope that others will feel it, too.”

Carpinello’s Writing Pages: A Friend for Christmas Book Review

“Heart-warming story about finding an unexpected friendship. When the rabbits put aside what they’ve been taught to fear and trust their instincts instead, an amazing friendship is formed.”

Book Review at The Blended Blog

“I enjoyed reading this lovely tale of a rabbit who showed braver.  If you have kids that love animals then this will be a fun one to add to your Christmas collection.  Friendship and braver at a magical time, Christmas, how can you go wrong.”
