“Anthea and her family start the day by going to church, followed by a big family lunch and
of course there’s some festive fun along the way too,” Mrs Timotheou, 30, says.

“It’s a really special book which I’m sure children would love to receive under the Christmas
tree this year.”

The story, as with all books in the Ikoyenia series, aims to promote Greek culture and
language to children aged between two and eight.
