If your kids are anything like mine, there are two things that absolutely light them up during the holiday season:

🚒 Meet the Trucks That Saved Christmas
My book The Trucks That Saved Christmas is a bright, silly, heartwarming story about a group of hardworking trucks who step up to save Christmas when things go hilariously sideways.
We’ve got:
A dump truck who is 90% enthusiasm and 10% “Uh oh, what did I just knock over?”
A firetruck who tries very hard to be the sensible one
A crane truck who always believes he can lift “just one more thing!”
A snow plow who takes his job very seriously
And a few more cheerful vehicles who refuse to let holiday chaos win
It’s perfect for little truck lovers, Christmas fans, and kids who giggle at puns (which… is all of them).

Because I’m extra (and because my kids demanded it), I turned the artwork from the book into cute Christmas wallpapers you can use on your phone.

They’re festive.

Top Christmas Books for kids
I Wrote a Children’s Christmas Book!
Inspired by countless bedtime truck stories with my boys, The Trucks that Saved Christmas brings big engines and big hearts to Christmas Eve. When a snowstorm slows Santa down and the reindeer need to rest, the Truck Team revs up to help deliver the joy of Christmas night.

I Wrote a Children’s Christmas Book About Trucks Saving Christmas
Are you surprised?! If you follow me on social media then you know how much I love Christmas and that this dream of mine to write a children’s Christmas book wasn’t too far fetched!
One of my favorite things in the world is reading with my boys. Whether it’s before bedtime, during a lazy Sunday morning, or while snuggled up on the couch after dinner, those moments are pure magic. I love watching their faces light up as they follow along with the story — laughing at the funny parts, pointing at the illustrations, and asking a million curious questions (especially from the younger one these days!). Reading together has always been our way of slowing down and connecting.
And like so many parents of young kids, I can tell you this: we read a lot of truck books. Big trucks, small trucks, trucks that dig, trucks that dump, trucks that save the day — you name it, we’ve read it (probably five times in a row). But my absolute favorites have always been the Christmas stories. There’s just something about that combination of holiday magic, cozy family time, and the joy of giving that makes a story extra special.
Seeing The Trucks That Saved Christmas in print for the first time — a proud author moment.
One night last year, as we were reading yet another truck book before bed, I found myself imagining what might happen if Santa’s reindeer couldn’t finish their route. Who would help him deliver all the gifts? What if — just maybe — a team of brave, hardworking trucks rolled in to save Christmas Eve?
That idea became the spark for The Trucks that Saved Christmas.
In the story, a snowstorm hits on Christmas Eve, and Santa’s reindeer grow too tired to fly. That’s when the Truck Team steps up. Dump Truck, Firetruck, Snowplow, Crane Truck, Tank Truck, and Excavator work together to clear the snow, light the way, and help Santa finish delivering presents. Through teamwork, kindness, and determination, the trucks remind us all that even when plans change, there’s always a way to make the magic happen.
Writing this book was such a joyful process. I wanted it to feel playful and rhythmic — a story that’s as fun to read aloud as it is meaningful. Each truck has its own role to play, and the rhymes are designed to capture that sing-song bounce that kids love to repeat. And while it’s a story about Christmas, it’s really about something deeper: teamwork, helping others, and believing that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference.

The festive cover shows smiling trucks helping Santa in a snowy village with a glowing Christmas tree. Below the shelf are colorful toddler toys and instruments, creating a cozy family reading space.
As a parent, I’ve seen how stories shape the way children see the world. When they read about characters who work together, solve problems, and care for one another, those lessons stick. And when those lessons come wrapped in the sparkle of Christmas lights and the rumble of truck engines, kids connect with them in a way that feels exciting and familiar.
My hope is that The Trucks that Saved Christmas becomes a story families look forward to sharing year after year — one that brings a little warmth, laughter, and togetherness to the holiday season.
If you have a truck-loving kid (or know someone who does), I’d be honored if you added it to your holiday reading list. It’s now available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle editions. Also available on Barnes and Noble, Walmart, IngramSpark, and other retailers.
From my family to yours — merry reading, happy holidays, and may your Christmas be full of teamwork, laughter, and just a little bit of truck magic. 🚒🎁🎄
