Jose the Reindeer

Jose the Reindeer, is an award winning bilingual book that celebrates Latino heritage and tells the story of how Someone, who is a little Different,  saves Christmas when Santa gets stuck in San Antonio.  When you purchase a complete box set you are joining our Jose family.  Be prepared!  The Plush Toy comes with a unique certificate of adoption and he will take on your family's last name!   Jose becomes part of your own unique family gatherings and traditions.

 

Your kids can hold him, love him, move him around and take pictures! There are no difficult rules to memorize or follow.  He is now part of your loving home and will follow your rules!  The certificate of adoption also has a section where you pledge to share love, joy, and peace for Christmas.  We are looking forward to see what you will share with your own plush toy reindeer on social media platforms!
