The Best Christmas (Найкраще Різдво) by Muriel Zürcher is a festive, interactive picture book published by Vivat in 2024. Designed for young children aged about 3‑8 years, this beautiful hardcover edition consists of 12 thick board pages (approx. 250×250 mm) that invite little readers to explore with windows to peek through and creative elements that spark imagination. 

Set in a magical forest, the story follows a small Bunny who, before Christmas, receives an invitation from its best friend to celebrate together. The adventure begins!

The bright illustrations by Fabien Octo‑Lambert bring forest animals’ homes to life, warming hearts with color and detail.

This book is more than just a story — it’s an experience.

Perfect for reading aloud at home during the festive season, giving as a gift, or simply enjoying together with little ones. Kids develop curiosity, dexterity, and a sense of wonder — all through play and story.
