Available for your review and purchase .
Click the book cover and take a look inside the book.

Follow the life of  Fillip from fall until Christmas Eve, and when he woke up in Nana’s Christmas tree. Fillip delightfully thought he was a welcome guest and sat upon Nana's mantecada. Nana was not happy and jumped into action. She did not like a guest to sit on her cake .  She thought Fillip was a pest and  came up with a clever solution.

The book is an easy to read aloud story written in rhyme.
FILLIP WOKE UP ON CHRISTMAS EVE will be the book a child requests to hear over and over again.

A page of fun fly facts and a recipe for Nana's Mantecada Cake is included in the back of the book.
