Vorwort A fabulous festive treat from Yasmeen Ismail Zusammenfassung Bursting with energy and colour, this funny family picture book about sisters by award-winning author, Yasmeen Ismail, is a real festive treat! Greta and Gracie are sisters - Greta is chatty while Gracie is quiet and it's all FINE until, one day, everything changes. It's nearly Christmas, and together the sisters decorate the tree, shop for presents and even try a spot of ice-skating. But Greta, of course, ALWAYS knows best and poor Gracie can't get a word in.
