It spreads a very important message that you should always be grateful for what you have and you should never take anything for granted. It's a real problem here in the UK, particularly during the colder months, so isn't it about time we started to address the issue?Ī Gift from Bob is all about reflection and gratitude. Of course, we all see homeless people out on the streets in our towns and cities, but how many of us actually see the person behind the stereotype? By drawing on his own experiences, James tries to cut through this issue and portray the real, human side of homelessness. From treats for Bob to a festive meal to a gift for Belle, a close friend, the hardships that James faces are ones that many of us simply don't think about. Without a stable income and with food and heating bills to pay on top of the usual rent payment, it's no surprise that he must scrape the bare necessities together for Christmas.

Barely surviving on the very minimum when it comes to money, James is struggling to make ends meet. Instead of turkey dinners with all the trimmings and presents coming out of our ears, James and Bob's Christmas is a sparse affair. Author James Bowen tells the story of a very different Christmas than the lavish extravaganzas many of us are used to nowadays. However, A Gift from Bob is not your ordinary festive tale. We all know Bob from the fame of A Street Cat Named Bob (if you aren't familiar with Bob and James' adventures, where have you been?) and it's pretty safe to say that this humble cat has easily worked his way into the hearts of the nation.Ĭhristmas is the perfect time for a heartwarming story with a happy ending, so add a cat and what could be better?
