Dasher
How a Brave Little Doe Changed Christmas Forever

author/illustrator: Matt Tavares

series name:
Dasher

Dasher is an adventurous young reindeer with a wish in her heart. She spends her days with her family under the hot sun in a traveling circus, but she longs for a different life — one where there is snow beneath her hooves and the North Star above her head. One day, when the opportunity arises, Dasher seizes her destiny and takes off in pursuit of the life she wants to live. It’s not long before she meets a nice man in a red suit with a horse-drawn sleigh — a man named Santa. And soon, with the help of a powerful Christmas wish, nothing will be the same.

A New York Times bestseller!

From the celebrated creator of Red and Lulu comes the story of a brave little doe who meets Santa and changes Christmas forever.
