To celebrate the release of Bill Arnott’s new book, A Festive Season on Vancouver Island, we’re doing a Holiday Scavenger Hunt in Victoria! 🎄📚⛄

Each week leading up to Christmas, we’ll be hiding one copy of A Festive Season on Vancouver Island somewhere around the city...and the best part? Finders keepers!

Here’s how it works:
• Each week we’ll share a clue on our page.
• Each clue will lead you to a location connected to one of the amazing local businesses or holiday activities featured in the book.
• The first person to find the hidden book gets to take it home!

Keep your eyes on our posts—the first clue drops the first week of December ❄️📖✨

"This is a short book that showcases the meaning of Christmas by introducing you to a little girl who stumbles across a Santa Claus who has nothing. When she learns that he doesn’t have anything, not even one toy, she brings a toy of hers from home to share with him, and we see the joy that brings to him. If you are looking for a Christmas book to share with young children, then look no further than this book."

Thank you Unconventional Quirky Bibliophile for reviewing My Little Santa Claus! 📚🎄🎅

Book Description A timeless story of kindness and giving that will captivate young readers and become a beloved holiday tradition for years to come. Now available in English for the first time,&nbs…
