I've written about the Eraserheads on this forum in the past, and I've talked about them on my YouTube show before (English subs available):
As a sequel to both, I will be talking about their Christmas album, the all-English Fruitcake. The band wrote a children's book with the same name.
While the album is widely available on streaming, the book is nowhere to be found. The publisher, Anvil Publishing, Inc., is out of stock.
The site linked above describes the story:
Once upon a Christmas Eve, twelve-year-old Frannie Wei, with her one true friend, Shadow, decided to leave home and go for a ride because she wasn’t quite happy inside her big room in their very big house…nobody seemed to really understand her. Follow Frannie and Shadow as they share their journey with Bobo the Wiseman, the Carol Kings, the Fabulous Baker Boy, the Fruity Fairy, and the Fruitcakeans–even Santa Claus! Written by one of the Philippines’ iconic contemporary bands, Eraserheads, and illustrated by artist and designer Cynthia Bauzon-Arre.
I review the album here, and discuss the story book. Some pictures on the album look like they were used in the book too. But, citation needed. Video has English subtitles.

Not gonna lie, this sounds like something that would've been released in the US, or Canada. The name of the band itself(Eraserheads) sounds like a name of a rock band here in the US, or perhaps even Europe. I wasn't expecting them to be Filipino, but that's the fun part lol.
The book used to be for sale on this site called Carrousel, but presumably has been bought as it leads to a 404 page:https://www.facebook.com/191012200938350/posts/for-sale-fruitcake-book-by-the-eraserheads/2793316124041265/
So,uh... i guess this is the end of my post. Bu-but there is more, right?
