A heartwarming story for Christmas

The Apartment Store is the story of Lydia, a little girl who lives in a ramshackle attic apartment, in a ramshackle apartment building, down the ramshackle end of town. All Lydia wants is a proper Christmas, but it doesn't seem likely until a new tenant arrives in their building and changes Christmas for everyone in it.

The Apartment Store is a book length Christmas story of twelve chapters, split into twenty four episodes for Advent.

The Apartment Store is one of the cosiest of the Christmas stories. I was deliberately trying to write something like a Studio Ghibli film, something in which there were no real ‘bad guys’ and in which the focus was on a child and the community that supported and raised them.
