One Snowy Night

A magical story of friendship with a soft, textured finish on the cozy red hat, perfect for little fingers to trace.

One snowy Christmas, a cold little hedgehog wakes from his winter sleep to find a present from Father Christmas. It’s a snug, woolly red hat – just what he needs. But when Little Hedgehog tries to wear the hat his prickles get in the way and it won’t fit. Then Little Hedgehog has a wonderful idea . . .

M. Christina Butler has written many bestselling books for children, including the Little Hedgehog books One Winter’s Day and One Rainy Day. She lives in Driffield, East Yorkshire, England.

Tina Macnaughton was born in Scotland and raised in the south of England where she still currently lives in Surrey with her husband and daughter. She began her illustration training when she drew every night in bed as a girl on a little chalk board until everything was blue, pink or yellow much to the frustration of her mother. Her parents' back garden was like a small woodland and with it came lots of wildlife and so she was always chasing something or examining some creepy crawly much to the horror of her family. When she was asked by teachers and other kids if she was going to be an artist when she grew up, her reply was usually 'No way, I am going to be a vet!' To the relief of many animals it dawned on Tina that she was much better at drawing animals than examining them. After university she worked as a graphic designer for a few years until she decided to chase the dream of being a children's book illustrator.

Tina went freelance in 2002 and has been published in 41 countries, from Japan to Brazil, and translated into 37 different languages including ones from her family roots of Scottish Gaelic and Danish. She is best known for the Little Hedgehog series of 12 books (and counting) the first being One Snowy Night, written by M. Christina Butler and published by Little Tiger Press.
