Just in time for Christmas, Pownal Street Press is pleased to announce this heartwarming children’s book, with proceeds to support the charity Santa’s Angels.
Santa’s Angel is the heartwarming true story about the powerful bond of family, the kindness of strangers, the enduring magic of the season—and how taking a leap of faith and trusting in the unknown can lead to delightful outcomes.
“We are proud to be presenting this title for the holiday season, and truly believe in the powerful impact that Santa’s Angels has on Island families. It is a time when all of the community comes together to make the magic happen.”
Mo Duffy Cobb, Editorial Director, Pownal Street Press
No matter where you go in the world, the joy of returning home for the holidays beckons like the brightest star on the darkest winter night. And if you’re from magical Prince Edward Island, you know that the north shores always call you home.
After a winter trip to Florida, one little family looks forward to making their way back to PEI in time to share Christmas Eve with their loved ones—but a nor’easter on the Atlantic has other plans in mind. With all flights cancelled to Canada’s wintry east coast, will Cindy and her daughter Zoe be able to reunite with Cindy’s husband Luke and his son Cam? And, if they do, will the family safely find their way home to PEI before the stockings are hung by the chimney with care?

A portion of the proceeds of the book will be donated to Santa’s Angels, a registered PEI charity that visits hundreds of homes across Prince Edward Island. With each home visit, Santa and the elves bring food, toys and gifts. To get involved, visit santasangels.ca.
These Prince Edward Island events will be taking place with the author, Marsha Doiron, in celebration of the book and to raise money for Santa’s Angels.
