The Twelve Days of Christmas

Author Alison Jay
Celebrate Christmas with the classic holiday song everyone loves to sing, now in a beautifully illustrated gift-ready picture book!

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me . . .

Alison Jay is a graduate of the London College of Printing and is the acclaimed illustrator of many picture books, including The Cloud Spinner, written by Michael Catchpool, and A Gift for Mama, by Linda Ravin Lodding. Alison’s signature style is created using alkyd paint on thick cartridge paper, with a crackle varnish, giving an aged effect. View titles by Alison Jay
