2026 Book Release: The Colorful Christmas Kerfuffle
Natalie the elf is ready for a change. Red and green feel boring, and when a new fashion designer arrives at the North Pole, she's convinced Christmas could be more beautiful than ever. But when her colorful plan backfires, Natalie is left embarrassed and unsure how to face Santa again.
This whimsical, faith-rooted Christmas story gently helps children understand mistakes, humility, and the courage to take ownership and start over. Inspired by the prodigal son, The Colorful Christmas Kerfuffle reminds families that because of Jesus forgiveness is always waiting - and it shines brighter than all the Christmas lights in all the world.
“As the Principle of a culturally diverse Christian K-8 school, I appreciate this joyful story that aligns beautifully with the biblical principles we strive to teach our students. What appears a failure becomes a beautiful lesson in grace and forgiveness, reflecting the example of Jesus in a way that is warm, meaningful and accessible for young readers.”
What Child Educators Are Saying:
“As a Kindergarten teacher and having worked with elementary students for over 30 years, I really like how this unique story gives children a meaningful way to understand apology, forgiveness and love for one another.”
“As a Preschool teacher, I love the fun title and how the story teaches humility and forgiveness, including the nativity in a sweet way for children that leaves room for the reader to expound upon it. The characters are colorful and well developed.”
