We all know how the story goes: “Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house…” but wait! In The Unusual Night Before Christmas, the familiar cadence stays the same, but the guests are a little… different. Imagine the cozy charm of Christmas morning mixed with the colorful, bouncy energy of Easter!

Inspired by the author’s love for her own sweet bunnies and the festive vibes of two major holidays, this book reimagines the classic poem with a comedic twist. With expressive illustrations by Ekaterina Anikina, it’s a playful, forward-thinking read-aloud that keeps kids guessing and parents chuckling. It’s the perfect way to breathe new life into a beloved family tradition.

Here is the “real talk” part: this book is currently in its prelaunch phase! Sonya is launching her Kickstarter on March 3rd, and the physical existence of this cozy-yet-chaotic masterpiece depends on the success of the campaign.
