Freya Hartas has illustrated a magical Christmas countdown experience in "Brown Bear Wood: Christmas is Coming to Town!", an innovative advent calendar book that transforms into a festive village. Freya's enchanting artwork brings Bear and his woodland friends to life across 24 hidden doors, each revealing delightful rhyming text and gorgeous illustrations to discover throughout December.

Beyond the daily surprises, the book includes family activities illustrated in Freya's signature style – from writing letters to Santa with Professor Owl to decorating a gingerbread burrow with Bunny. The spectacular fold-out frieze allows families to display their own Christmas Street, while the gold foil case and red ribbon tie make this July 2025 release from Magic Cat Publishing the perfect holiday gift for ages 3-5.
