Back Cover
“Bella and Lucy’s Christmas” is a heartwarming picture book that follows two sister pups navigating a neighborhood consumed by holiday stress, competition, and materialism. When Bella and Lucy encounter a lonely dog with elaborate gifts, arguing neighbors with extravagant decorations, and sad shelter pets surrounded by expensive toys, they begin to doubt their own simple Christmas at home with their two dads. After searching the snowy streets for answers, they return home cold and discouraged, only to discover that Christmas was never hiding in the biggest house or fanciest gift. It was waiting in the warmth of their fire, the love of their family, and the simple joy of being together. Inspired, Bella and Lucy gather their neighbors to share this revelation, transforming their community’s Christmas from competition into connection. With gentle wisdom and “Charlie Brown Christmas” charm, this story reminds children that presence matters more than presents, and that the true magic of the season lives in authentic love and togetherness.
