A heartwarming Christmas gift for avid fans of Neil Gaiman, this extraordinary book has been featured on Channel 4 News! Sometimes, all it takes is a stranger in a dark place to remind us that we have the right to exist, to bring warmth to our hearts during the coldest season. In 2019, Neil Gaiman embarked on a unique project on Twitter, asking his followers: "What reminds you of warmth?" The response was overwhelming, with over 1,000 replies pouring in from around the world. Inspired by this collective sentiment, Neil crafted a beautiful poem, weaving together these replies to create a powerful message of unity and compassion.

"What You Need to Be Warm" is a captivating exploration of displacement and flight from conflict, presented through the objects and memories that symbolize warmth. It delves into our fundamental right to feel safe, regardless of our identity or where we come from. This book is a call to extend a hand of welcome to those who find themselves far from home, fostering a sense of belonging and connection in a world that can sometimes feel frightening and lonely.

Featuring stunning new illustrations by a diverse group of artists, including Chris Riddell, Benji Davies, Yuliya Gwilym, Nadine Kaadan, Daniel Egnéus, Pam Smy, Petr Horácek, Beth Suzanna, Bagram Ibatoulline, Marie-Alice Harel, Majid Adin, and Richard Jones, this hardback edition of "What You Need to Be Warm" is a visual feast. The thought-provoking cover art by Oliver Jeffers adds an extra layer of depth to the narrative.

With its powerful message and stunning artwork, "What You Need to Be Warm" is a must-have gift for Neil Gaiman fans and anyone seeking to spread warmth and compassion in the world. Every copy sold helps support the important work of the UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency, as they assist forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the globe.

So, whether you're looking for a meaningful gift or a source of inspiration, this book is sure to touch your heart and inspire you to make a positive impact in the lives of others.
