Josie Saves Christmas

It's one week before Christmas, and Santa is busy with his reindeer preparing for their most important night of the year. But when Gus, the lead reindeer, accidentally breaks his glasses during a practice run, everything changes. Without Gus to help guide the sleigh, Santa and his team quickly find themselves lost - and Christmas is suddenly at risk.

Mrs. Claus knows just who to turn to: Josie, the youngest of her four reindeer helpers and a whiz with technology. While others doubt her abilities, Josie has been secretly working on a device to help guide flying model planes—and maybe, just maybe, it could help guide Santa's sleigh too.

Co-authored by mother-daughter duo Kathy Dawson and Katie Rose Dawson, Josie Saves Christmas is a heartwarming holiday tale about creativity, courage, and the magic of believing in yourself. Young readers will cheer for Josie as she proves that even the smallest reindeer can make the biggest difference.

With themes of teamwork, inclusion, and girl-powered problem-solving, this uplifting story is perfect for holiday reading traditions and bedtime storytelling. Featuring charming illustrations and a timeless message, Josie Saves Christmas is sure to become a seasonal favorite for families everywhere.
