Just as the heroine in these stories, in real life Erin is a young girl who cannot walk, talk or use her hands. She has cerebral palsy. Within are subtle messages for her and many others* such as 'never give up', 'I am able just as I am', 'reading gives one so much' and 'accept me as me'. Clare Latham was asked by SpecialEffect founder Dr Mick Donegan if she could build a communication system with Erin, which she did together with her Mum and personal assistant. Erin's tenacity, ability and sense of fun then spurred Clare to write these stories from their shared experiences and, as it were, keep her going.* There are 17 million around the world living with cerebral palsy (US National Institute of Health) SpecialEffect The charity is dedicated to giving disabled people the technology to access video games and the internet, thus promoting fun and inclusion. Dr Donegan was awarded an MBE for his service to disability.

Told is the story of an alternate world within a Christmas Tree; a fully realised world, not populated by humans, but by the Tree's ornaments. Power - held by a governing fairy - is handed on to the next in line every few seasons. One fairy though - Phaedria - refuses to stand down. Forcibly removed and stripped of magic, she is banished, but formulates a plan to retake the Tree. By hunting and absorbing the Tree's lights with the help of an enslaved ice-creature, she's able to regain her powers and gather an army. The Tree's ornaments, many and varied, must put aside their differences and come together. Little do the Tree's owners (the young boy Henry and his father) know of this world, until Henry - along with his faithful teddy bear - are pulled in and embroiled in a war. On his journey Henry is burdened with a perilous mission. Kidnapped by elves, he falls into the hands of Phaedria the fallen fairy. If he wants to keep his beloved Bear alive (a stuffed teddy from home, now animated) he must agree to deliver a 'gift' to Lilly, the current governing fairy. Henry hitches a ride on a giant snowflake, transforms to a bird, meets a tiny wizened king and the winds he commands, amongst many other encounters - and all in pyjamas and a dressing gown.
