About this book
An empowering book about friendship featuring a tech-savvy, generous and kind princess.
Princess Eliza was brainy and bright
She kept herself busy from morning till night
With wood, lots of string and some pieces of wire
The princess could make anything you'd desire.
"It's great that you make all these things," the queen said. “But how about making a new friend instead?”
Eliza soon discovers a small house in the forest filled with forlorn-looking elves. Here she learns that Santa is poorly, the elves are in a tizzy and it's nearly Christmas Eve!
Can Eliza use her inventing skills to save the day and perhaps make some new friends without even trying? You bet!!
With stunning, rich and detailed illustrations by the super-talented Sarah Warburton, there is so much to see that this book should keep your little ones busy for hours!
With a strong female hero, who is a capable engineer, and messages about kindness and friendship, this book is for life, not just for Christmas!

“This is just perfect with a touch of ‘female engineering’ too! Loved it!” ”
“This excellent rhyming story about making friends has a wonderful heroine in Eliza, who is as practical, hardworking and generally non-princessy as anyone could wish for. Bright illustrations with plenty of fun details make this a perfect Christmas read.”
“One of our favourite picture books this Christmas.”
“A joyful story with plenty of sly allusions to other fairy tales, and the illustrations bring a Nordic winter to life brilliantly.”
“Eliza is very self-sufficient and intelligent and she uses her mind to solve problems as others around her flounder. Hart manages to make a strong female character without belittling the book or the reader – Eliza just seems like a very savvy kid.”
