The Mother of Christmas children’s books

I provided the illustrations for these two books, which feature Mrs. Claus, the engineer behind Christmas. Readers are introduced to her in The Mother of Christmas, how she helps Santa set up shop, and streamlines the toy-making process. In the follow-up The Mother of Christmas Cookies, Mrs. Claus looks for (and shares!) the ultimate cookie recipe, and figures out the best way to make enough for everyone. Both books were written and self-published by University of Ottawa engineering professor Pat Dumond.

“Emily produced the illustrations for my books, helped me with book layouts and made sure I had the right file formats for production. She even helped me refine my stories! Two books later, and I couldn’t be happier. Emily is a true creative professional. She not only produces high-quality illustrations but also works closely with you to ensure they meet your exact needs. She fully engages in the creative process, ensuring each project turns out just right.”
- Pat Dumond, Author

Both books are available in English and French here.
