About the Book
The annual Christmas market is a wondrous place. It is full of beautiful sights and delicious smells. Each year, Max and Indy pick out gifts for each other at the market. This year, they head to the market to choose their gifts. They part ways after agreeing to meet back at the towering tree at midnight. Indy finds the perfect gift for Max: gingerbread cookies! But when she sees a little girl hungry and crying in the cold, she must decide what to do with the gift. Should she give it to the girl or keep it for Max? Max finds the perfect gift for Indy: a pretty ornament! But when he sees a little boy who does not have enough money to buy an ornament, he must decide what to do with the gift. Should he give it to the boy or keep it for Indy? When Max and Indy meet back at the towering tree at midnight, the friends both have a story to share with each other.
The REAL Max and Indy
This story's featured duo was inspired by our two beloved dogs, Max (Hungarian Vizsla) and Indy (French Bulldog)—an inseparable pair with wonderfully opposite personalities. Their contrasting looks and temperaments always draw attention when we’re out, and after living life by our side for over eleven years now, they felt like the perfect main characters for this children’s story.
