I loved EVERYTHING about this endearing and heartwarming, very special Childrens's Christmas tale! The paintings, the text pages, and just the entire aura of the story resonated like Victorian Christmas tales and poems, such as Clement Moore's "The Night Before Christmas," and Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL. But you certainly needn't save this Joy for Christmas Eve, as the story and its inspiring lessons about found friendship and found family and perseverance are suitable for any day and any time, Winter or Summer, day or bedtime.

Paws, Purpose & One Very Brave Pup!
Not All Reindeer Can Fly is a heartwarming holiday tale that proves you don’t need antlers to save Christmas—just a little courage, a wagging tail, and a whole lot of heart. 🐾❄️🎅

This was adorable! The illustrations were beautiful and helped to tell the story well. The story itself was cute, conveying how difficult it is to find your place in the world when you are different. I had one concern about this book that made me give it less than 5 stars: it was very wordy, making me wonder about the target audience for this book. Otherwise, I enjoyed this story and recommend as a nice Christmas read or at any time to reinforce that it’s OK to be different.

Every Christmas morning after presents were delivered, Santa and his reindeer had the tradition of taking a break to watch the sunrise. Comet, one of the reindeer, finds a lost Husky puppy hiding in the woods among the ivy vines so they help her. Santa and his reindeer look for the husky’s family but there’s no one. Santa names her Ivy and places her in his sleigh to take back to the North Pole. Santa, the elves and Comet take care of Ivy. Ivy tries to belong among them and set off to find it but a snowstorm came. Thick ice froze over the sleigh’s skis trapping the skis. Comet has the idea to give Ivy the reigns to pull the sleigh. Ivy pulled the sleigh but was getting tired so Comet laid a harness on Ivy’s back to help pull the sleigh which it did and the sleigh broke free from the ice. Ivy saved Christmas. Santa had Ivy sit with him in a special seat in his sleigh and had a gold plaque that read “Emergency Reindeer”. Ivy felt her importance, knew who she was and was part of the family.
This is a 45 page book for children ages 4-8. It teaches that everyone has a valuable skill. It shows how everyone has something to offer. The story teaches acceptance and importance of helping others. The illustrations were beautiful
