✨ A Christmas story that celebrates simple family traditions through the eyes of a lovable dog! ✨ Sophie the dog adores Christmas, from decorating the tree, sneaking a few cookies, and even guarding the nativity scene with care. But as much as she loves bows, lights, and treats, Sophie discovers that the very best part of Christmas can’t be wrapped at all. Full of bright watercolor and photo illustrations, Sophie’s Cozy Christmas is a heartwarming holiday picture book that reminds children and families what truly makes Christmas special, traditions, love, joy, and time together. Whether you’re curled up by the tree, sipping cocoa in pajamas, or sharing stories with loved ones, Sophie is ready to make your Christmas full of fun and extra cozy. If your child falls in love with Sophie in this story, they’ll be excited to read about her other adventures in the Sophie's Sensational Australian Shepherd series—wholesome, gentle humor, and fun tales to enjoy all year long. Lacey Kolb is a 13-year-old artist from Tennessee who brings stories to life through her love of watercolor. She is the illustrator of Sophie's Cozy Christmas and Sophie's Pink Balloon. When she's not painting, Lacey enjoys exploring the outdoors, watching every VOLS football game, and spending time with her family and their Australian Shepherd, Sophie. Melissa Kolb is a former public school math and science teacher who now homeschools her three children on a little hobby farm in Tennessee. Originally from snowy New York, she sometimes misses white Christmas mornings, but she's happy to sip hot cocoa any time of the year. Together with her children, she has made self-publishing a family adventure, blending learning with creativity.
