This charming and funny Christmas story of a grumpy tomte and the hopeful little rabbits is told over twenty-five chapters -- one for each day of Advent -- with delightful festive illustrations.

Randolph the Moose lives with his mother in the Great White North. After a chance encounter with the reindeer from Santa Claus' sleigh-pulling team, Randolph finds new joy in trail running as he trains to join the reindeer in Santa's flight school. But when the head elf places him at the workshop loading dock instead (due to his tremendous bulk), Randolph has to use his brains and work ethic to earn respect at his new job... and even save Christmas. Imagine Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, except... • Randolph has a healthy self-image • Randolph has a more positive outlet for his feelings • Randolph runs, but not away from his problems • Randolph is pro-active, refusing to let Santa's workshop define him as a moose BE YOUR OWN MOOSE! "Randolph the Christmas Moose empowers kids to find the unique leader within themselves and to not allow stereotyping to limit their potential." --AUSTIN HIGHSMITH GARCES, author of The Miracle Tree and actor in Dolphin Tale 1 and 2 "Randolph the Christmas Moose, filled with humor and character building, shares a twist to a familiar tale to produce an important message about how children can be hard-working, determined and true to themselves." --ADAM DOVICO, educator and author of When Kids Lead, The Limitless School and Inside the Trenches "This is a charming and funny story that will not only entertain kids, but also help them understand that other people's opinions don't define them." --LINDSAY THOMPSON, filmmaker and writer for PBS' Arthur "Randolph the Christmas Moose addresses many important childhood themes, including acceptance, endurance and bullying, without sounding 'preachy.'" --SUE ELDER, Ed.D., public and elementary school librarian, educator and bibliophile Learn more at www.GerryGibsonAuthor.com From Loving Healing press www.LHPress.com

Some traditions should never be lost, like scaring your children into behaving well and teaching them to trick demons during the cold winter. Introducing Krampus and Other Yuletide Tales, a collection of wonderful macabre folk tales that have been nearly lost forever...until now. Featuring thirteen wintery stories and over sixty hauntingly beautiful illustrations, this book contains the kind of thrilling tales that will bring the family together and keep them up at night. So snuggle up with Snegurochka, the snow maiden who melts away as soon as she finds real love. Cozy up around the fire and read the story of Frau Perchta, a witch who happily slices open the bodies of misbehaving children. Watch your kids' eyes light up as they hear about Father Frost, the original present-giving bearded man who would rather freeze them to death than wastefully put a lump of coal in their stockings for being rude. Krampus is coming to town and everybody is on his naughty list. This is not your grandmother's collection of stories. These belong to her grandmother, the babushka, who knew how to celebrate Yule right: a bountiful feast paired with a little tale of murder.
