On a lonely Christmas Eve, young Christof feels unseen, left out, and longing for true happiness—until a silent Angel appears and invites him on a magical journey across snow-covered lands and heartwarming lessons.

From skating with a Snow Goddess in Iceland to giggling with a bubble-gum shop owner in England, Christof meets whimsical friends who teach him that courage, laughter, self-worth, and wonder are all part of the path toward true happiness. But it is only in the wondrous Kingdom of Woo that Christof begins to understand the greatest truth of all: that true, lasting happiness isn’t found in things or places, but within the heart—where love, faith, and joy abide.

Told in lyrical, rhyming verse, Christof’s Search for Happiness is a heartwarming holiday tale for ages 7 and up—perfect for cozy family read-alouds, independent young readers, or one-chapter-a-day countdowns to Christmas. A timeless Christmas gift to share and treasure year after year.
