Publisher's Synopsis
Nina's parents have been away for business for a long time and left her with her aunt Barbara. But the old, impatient aunt took Nina to a children's home for being naughty.
It's the 5th of December, and all the children's boots, shoes and booties are shining with excitement: it's the night when Saint Nicholas will fill them all with sweets, nuts, biscuits and chocolates! Only Nina's red booties are sad, imagining being filled with only a stick or a withy because she had been naughty, as aunt Barbara had said... Will magic happen? Will Saint Nicholas save the day? Will Nina see her parents again? Nina's story teaches all children about kindness, forgiveness and the courage to speak up. And the activities at the end help parents bond with their children. The story makes it easy for parents to ask questions and find out the simple truths hidden behind their children's so called naughty behaviour.
