Description
From Pixar star animator Bobby Podesta comes a middle-grade classic holiday story about Virginia, a girl who must help one of Santa's reindeer back to the North Pole before Christmas.
What would you think if you saw a reindeer fly? When this happens to Virginia, she isn't sure what to do - she's just lost her mom, she's in a new city, and everything seems so hard. But when she reluctantly confesses what she saw to her neighbor, Benny, he's convinced that flying reindeer can only mean one thing: this is Santa business. In this stunning graphic novel debut from Pixar director Bobby Podesta, two kids and a lost reindeer go up against obsessive hunters, suspiciously convincing department store elves, and radar operators for the Continental Air Defense Command Center. No matter the odds, Virginia's going to get Christmas back on track!

"Family, friendship, and shenanigan-filled bravery take flight in this Christmas tale." --Kirkus "Bobby's storytelling talent, which I've long admired at Pixar, shines brightly in North for the Winter. This festive graphic novel is a delightful blend of adventure and heart." --Lee Unkrich, Director of Coco
