🎄 ABOUT THE STORY

A little pet arrives on Christmas Eve to discover twinkling lights, unfamiliar sounds, and a child waiting to say hello.

Through careful first steps, a playful toy, and a cozy bed, the new arrival begins to feel at home. When the child makes a Christmas ornament with the pet’s name, there’s a special place for them on the tree—and in the family.

A gentle story to celebrate welcoming a pet, remember the beginning of their friendship, or share together at Christmas.


✨ MADE PERSONAL

• Your pet’s name in the cover title and story
• Your child’s name throughout the story
• Child and pet characters illustrated using your photos as references
• Your pet’s coloring and distinctive markings
• Your child’s hair and appearance
• A dedication written in your own words

Separate photos are welcome. You don’t need a picture of your child and pet together!


🐾 CHOOSE YOUR CAST — UP TO 4 CHARACTERS

Include children, dogs, and cats in your chosen combination, with at least one pet.

Each child and each pet counts as one character:
• 1 child + 1 pet = 2 characters
• 2 children + 1 pet = 3 characters
• 1 child + 1 dog + 1 cat = 3 characters
• 2 children + 2 pets = 4 characters

Pet-only versions are also available. The wording is adapted to your selected group.

Please tell me which pet is arriving home and who is welcoming them.
