Ernest et Célestine Series by Gabrielle Vincent

Christmas won't be the same for Celestine without her favorite lost toy bird, Gideon. Ernest's loving attempts to replace Gideon fail until he enlists Celestine's help, and together they find a solution that ensures a grand Christmas after all.

After he explains to Celestine why his collection of photographs does not include her, Ernest remedies the omission.

Even though they have no money, Ernest and Celestine use their ingenuity to make a Christmas party for their friends, knowing that it is love and friendship and not money that really matters.

Ernest and Celestine go to the circus where Ernest was once a clown and take part in the show.
