We’re thrilled to welcome back Jon Klassen and Mac Barnett to Blackwell’s for a discussion on their collaborative children’s books.

This event is aimed at older children and adults and is a discussion on the collaborative work that goes into creating these humouress books for children and adults alike. Copies of the book will be available to purchase and have signed on the evening.

How Does Santa Go Down the Chimney?

The multi-award-winning duo of Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen tackle a perennial question: how does Santa go down the chimney?

When Santa arrives at a child’s house on Christmas Eve, does he go down the chimney feetfirst or headfirst? What if he gets stuck? What if there’s no chimney? Maybe he slides under the door, as thin as a piece of paper? Or is it possible he pours himself through the tap? What happens once he’s inside?

Mac Barnett’s iconic talent for earnest deadpan humour and Jon Klassen’s irresistibly funny art honour this timeless question with answers both ridiculous and plausible, mounting in hilarity as the night continues. Channeling a child’s fanciful explanations, this latest collaboration by a bestselling team will find a secure spot among family Christmas traditions.
