DASHER AND THE POLAR BEAR

DASHER AND THE POLAR BEAR by Matt Tavares

Settle in tight, because it's time to travel to the icy lands of the north for a new Dasher adventure!

Many of us here in Ohio were blessed to be able to see some of the Northern Lights during 2025. While in no way could we see their crisp, moving beauty like our northern friends, it still was a sight to behold. DASHER 's latest adventure finds her delighting in the northern lights. She lands to bask in the beauty of their colors, and in doing so, stumbles upon a polar bear who has a wish to fly. Dasher attempts to help her new friend without success. Confused about why Christmas magic works for some, but not others, she returns home. That's when Santa steps in with a plan on Christmas Eve night: a gift that blesses not only Dasher's new friend, the polar bear, but Dasher herself, because what greater gift is there in life than being a part of helping a friend succeed? This story is a timely reminder that the blessing of giving to others is an amazing gift in itself!
