Meet the Author
Author Lor Bingham lives in Cheshire surrounded by furry pets, neurodiverse children and plenty of chaos. When she isn't cuddling her guinea pigs, being rounded up by her house-bunny or rescuing hamsters from cheeky escapades, she can be found editing children's books, spending time with her children and advocating for neurodivergent individuals.
After having ghost-written and co-authored several children's books and publications, A Cuddle for Christmas is Lor's debut children's book.

Illustrator Ginny Orchard loves bringing stories to life and watching them take shape. Working on A Cuddle for Christmas was a true joy as she added colour, warmth and a sprinkle of magic to Lor’s beautiful story. Seeing the characters grow on the page has been a very special experience, and she hopes everyone who reads it feels that same magic and falls in love with the characters — a little Christmas tale to treasure and pass down through generations
Meet the Characters
Cookie
Super-curious and fluffy bunny's real name is Mary Earps - yes a rabbit named after the footballer! She is a house-bunny who spends her days chasing balls, lying in patches of sunshine on the windowsill and binkying around. This is her first (but not last) story she has appeared in.
Fuzzy, cheeky guinea pig Tinsel is actually silver in real-life but she had a makeover for the story. Tinsel lives with a herd of guinea pigs who like to compete over who can squeak the loudest when the fridge door opens. This is her first story but she has so many more adventures she can't wait to share!
