What is I Killed Father Christmas about?

It’s Christmas Eve, but Jo-Jo thinks the festive season is ruined—and that he is to blame. After overhearing his parents argue, he becomes convinced that Father Christmas has been killed. Determined to put things right, Jo-Jo makes a red coat, fills a sack with old toys and sets off into the snow to deliver presents himself. Along the way, a little Christmas magic helps him discover the truth about Father Christmas, family worries and the real meaning of giving.
