Behind the Books

Every Little Desk Book begins with a story—not just the one written on the page, but the story behind how it came to life.

Theodore Saves Christmas is a book filled with little pieces of our own family memories, imagination, and love for the magic of Christmas.

The very first spark came from a love of the Christmas traditions that bring families together—the excitement of Christmas windows, the wonder of childhood imagination, and those special moments that make the festive season feel magical.

Some of the sweetest details in the book have their own stories. The letter that appears in Theodore’s journey was handwritten by my daughter, bringing a real piece of childhood wonder into the story. The name Macfarland’s Wonder Emporium was inspired by my grandfather, a tribute to the people and memories that shape who we become.

Throughout the illustrations, you’ll find hidden details waiting to be discovered—little surprises that invite children to slow down, look closer, and imagine beyond the words on the page.

Because to us, a book is more than a story.

It’s a keepsake. A shared moment. A memory waiting to be made.

We hope every Little Desk Book brings your family the same joy, connection, and wonder that inspired its creation.
