MASHPEE, Mass., Oct. 18, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- It is Christmas Eve at the North Pole and Santa's elves are busy at work while some are fast asleep after a long year of preparing toys. Jack the elf discovers that a teddy bear for a young girl is missing from Santa's sleigh. Panicked, he wakes up Liam the elf, and the two set out to find the missing toy, searching high and low throughout Santa's workshop. In "An Extra Dose of Love" by Muriel Fitzpatrick, Jack and Liam rush to save Christmas as readers learn about the spirit of giving and how this timeless message can be used any time of the year.
Throughout the beautifully illustrated book, readers follow along as the resourceful elves use technology and a positive attitude to locate the missing toy. The two elves come to discover the missing toy cuddled up with a fellow elf named Billy, who longed for a loveable teddy bear of his own. Billy is honest about his mistake, and acting unselfishly, he gives the toy back so it can make its way to the young girl. Saving the day, the elves use a marshmallow shooter to launch the teddy bear onto Santa's sleigh—filled with extra hugs and love.
This triumphant holiday tale ultimately will bring joy to young readers and their families while teaching them valuable lessons of honesty, friendship and giving. "I have always loved the excitement of the holiday season and wanted to write a story that would bring that joy to young readers while also including a feel-good lesson," said Fitzpatrick.
"An Extra Dose of Love" has received praise on Amazon.
