Sprite's Christmas Flight is a fun, cute, magical, sweet, and beautiful story! This story takes place on Christmas Eve as Santa is flying across the sky. Much to his surprise one of the Reindeer hurts their leg. None of the Reindeer can stay on course with their friend hurt and Santa's sleigh comes down. Matthew and his dog Spirte see Santa's sleigh fall from the sky and run out to help. Despite his small size the hero of Christmas ends up being a four legged floppy eared dog. Sprite saves the Christmas and has an unforgettable experience while his owner Matthew gently nurses the hurt Reindeer back to health at home. This story is so cute! I love that Sprite proves the other Reindeer wrong when they voice their doubts about him. I also loved that Matthew has a prosthetic leg because it is so rare to see limb diversity in children's books!
