Description
Matt Tavares, New York Times bestselling author of Dasher and its sequel, Dasher Can't Wait for Christmas, returns with another Christmas classic in the making.
One bright night just before Christmas, Dasher the reindeer is out admiring the stunning colours of the northern lights when she meets George, a sweet polar bear. Astounded to see that Dasher can fly, George confides that he has dreamed of soaring through the sky himself. Dasher would like nothing more than to bestow some Christmas magic on her new friend, but their flying lesson turns out to be a disappointing failure. Even Dasher, an intrepid reindeer in the habit of giving – not giving up – begins to wonder if anyone can make George’s dream take flight.
In this sparkling new Christmas story, Matt Tavares, New York Times bestselling author of Dasher and its sequel, Dasher Can't Wait for Christmas, is back to remind us that sometimes the best gift we can receive is simply to bear witness to wonder – and that not all presents fit inside Santa’s bag.
