On a silent and still night, little Strum and Drum play their guitar and drum. They’re on a mission to make their way to the Great Star in the north! Strumming and drumming as they go, they nosh on peppermints and pickles, encounter a silver waterfall, a polar bear, penguins and eventually, an imposing soldier prince with a toothy (and threatening!) grin. He issues a solemn warning about a beast with green eyes. Will Strum and Drum’s journey be deterred by said beast? Dear reader, we implore you to pick up this book and find out! This festive story with its beautifully modern palette exudes heaps of charm, right down to its adorable trim size. One of our favorite books of the season!
