Description

Christmas, the Skip Way.

Christmas is a magical time of year, but for Skip the Tiger, December can feel a little different.

As the decorations go up and the festive season begins, everything around Skip changes. The sights, the smells and even the food on his plate can feel unfamiliar and overwhelming. While everyone gets excited about Christmas treats and festive meals, Skip faces challenges that others might not understand.

But with kindness, patience and support, Skip discovers that Christmas doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. He can celebrate in his own way, enjoy the things that feel safe and familiar, and make special memories that are right for him.

Because Christmas can still be magical when it’s done the Skip way!

Inspired by lived experience, this heart-warming story was created by a family who understands the realities of ARFID. Through Skip’s adventure, we hope to help children feel seen, support families through the festive season and remind everyone that they are not alone.

A gentle, reassuring story for children and families living with ARFID, celebrating the magic of Christmas in a way that feels right for every child.
