Kiwi singer/songwriter Anna Coddington teamed up with Story Hemi-Morehouse to create 'Blue, Blue Christmas'- a children's book depicting the traditional Kiwi summer Christmas.
She says she appreciates the wintery Christmas aesthetic, but found it impossible to re-enact in the New Zealand summer heat.
"That appealed to me, the idea of a young kid clicking on to that and getting worried about Santa getting too hot in his big red suit and freaking out about it."
