Rosie's Red Nose


Book Description

In 2014, I wrote this story to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the most famous reindeer ever to lead Santa's sleigh. It is a delightful story that includes technological advances relevant to today's society with a blend of humor. It also puts a focus on evolving social attitudes about equality for everyone. I would like to dedicate this story to my two granddaughters, Autumn and Summer. May the spirit of Christmas keep you forever young. A tip for knowledge. Did you know? Reindeer and caribou are the only members of the reindeer family where both the male and female reindeer bear antlers.
