Cupig Saves Christmas

"Another holiday enlivened by this bumbling, lovable piggy protagonist." --Kirkus reviews

"A fun and festive choice for holiday collections."--School Library Journal

Cupig loves love. She loves love more than chilly hands love fuzzy gloves. On a chilly December night, Cupig receives an urgent call from a sick and sniffly Santa Claus. After thorough instruction, she's ready to fill in for Santa Claus and don the red hat and suit.

But when delivering presents proves to be harder than she thought, Cupig will have to learn about the real meaning of Christmas if she's going to fix her mistakes and save the day!

With clever rhyming text and comically expressive art and from New York Times bestselling duo Claire Tattersfield and Rob Sayegh Jr., Cupig Saves Christmas is a hilarious and sweet Christmas adventure. Perfect for fans of How to Catch Santa Claus, Little Blue Truck's Christmas, and The Crayons' Christmas!

About the Author
Claire Tattersfield is the New York Times bestselling author of Cupig, illustrated by Rob Sayegh Jr. An avid writer of satire, she found that her work on her college's satire newspaper translated phenomenally to writing books for children, so she did a heel-turn and found herself in the children's book world. A native of Nashville, Tennessee, she now lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her partner and far too many books.

Rob Sayegh Jr. is a former toy designer turned New York Times bestselling children's book illustrator. He is the author/illustrator of Love Tails, and the illustrator of I'm Not Scared, You're Scared!, Cupig, Arlo Draws an Octopus and Slow Down, Tumbleweed. Combining real-world textures and photography with his illustrations, Rob enjoys creating worlds and characters that make people of all ages smile and giggle. When he is not doodling or writing, he enjoys collecting vintage toys, being an official snack taste-tester, and falling in love with every dog he meets. He currently lives in San Francisco with his family. To see more of Rob's work, please visit robsayart.com.
