Unbeknownst to Lucky, everyone is looking high and low for a magical golden egg, and three friends believe the sparkle from his hiding place is the sign they need. When the trio reaches for the golden sparkle, will they find the mysterious golden egg or something more fascinating? Will Lucky escape before being discovered, or will a timely snap of his finger send them all on a new adventure?

Cupid’s Most Thankful Thursday

“…a heartwarming addition to holiday-themed children’s book collections.”- Publishers Weekly BookLife  Cupid’s visit to Holidayville couldn’t have come at a more important moment.  On Thanksgiving day, Gabrielle and Michael find themselves drawn into a journey guided by Cupid’s arrow—one that leads them to Ariel, a lonely girl whose wish to feel noticed and accepted has gone unanswered. As the trio moves through town, small acts of kindness begin to add up in big ways. Will Cupid’s visit help Holidayville discover that love isn’t just about hearts, candy, and cards, but about gratitude, courage, and community? Cupid’s Most Thankful Thursday reminds us that “you are never invisible to those meant to see you. And you are always worth being seen.”
