What would you think if you saw a reindeer fly? When this happens to Virginia, she isn’t sure what to do – she’s just lost her mom, she’s in a new city, and everything seems so hard. But when she reluctantly confesses what she saw to her neighbor, Benny, he’s convinced that flying reindeer can only mean one thing: this is Santa business.
In this stunning graphic novel debut from Pixar director Bobby Podesta, two kids and a lost reindeer go up against obsessive hunters, suspiciously convincing department store elves, and radar operators for the Continental Air Defense Command Center. No matter the odds, Virginia’s going to get Christmas back on track!
Bobby Podesta has been drawing cartoons for longer than he can remember and published his first newspaper comic strip while still in high school. After attending college at CalArts, Bobby began working at Pixar Animation Studios, where he has contributed as an Animator, Story Artist, Supervising Animator, and Director on several of their films and series. North for the Winter is his graphic novel debut. Bobby lives in Oakland, California with his wife, daughter, son, some chickens, a spoiled cat, and a pretty cute dog. He still draws cartoons every day. https://www.bobbypodesta.com/
