Zorro the Boston Terrier finds himself accidentally locked out of his home in the rain, with nowhere to turn for shelter. He ventures through the neighborhood and encounters adorable creatures who try to help him, each in unique ways. His mishap ends in a night full of adventure and new friendships.

We wrote this book with the intention of teaching young children about resilience and the importance of not being afraid to ask for help when in need. When persevering through difficult times one can often find joy in life through new friendships and adventure.

We will donate a percentage of the proceeds to an organization called Paw Paw Boston Terriers, which rescues dogs from kill shelters in South Korea.

Fun fact: we’ve been working with Jennifer Rees as our editor for the book. She edited, amongst other things, the Hunger Games books.

The Top Secret Truth About Santa Claus

The holidays are just around the corner and with them will come all of the joys of the season- beautiful lights, cheery music, and tantalizing treats.  Our malls will be filled with Santa’s in red as visions of sugar plums dance in children’s heads.  But for many families each year there is a big question that must be answered when the holidays roll around: “What is the truth about Santa Claus?”

To answer that often dreaded question C.C. Bloom has released a brand new book called The Top Secret Truth About Santa Claus.  What inspired Bloom to broach this subject on behalf of parents?  “I have four kids myself and have heard many conversations about the ‘man in red’ go completely sideways.”  According to Bloom,  “Just about every family falls somewhere on ‘the Santa Claus Spectrum’ between, ‘We love Santa and want to keep the magic alive for as long as possible’ to ‘We don’t do the Santa Claus thing because it takes away from the real reason for the season.’  But regardless of where you fall on the spectrum, the question must be answered at some point.”  

After hearing many of these awkward conversations Bloom decided there had to be a solution.  “My goal was to tell the real truth to kids and adults alike while still keeping the magic alive.”  After lots of research on how the phenomenon of Santa Claus came to be, she put pen to paper.  “If you’re like my family and ‘A Visit From Saint Nick’ (also known as ’Twas the Night Before Christmas’) is the traditional book your kids grew up on, then The Top Secret Truth About Santa Claus is the perfect bookend to the next phase of their childhood.  It’s set to a rhyme scheme, offers solutions to the many problems around this conversation, and tells the whole truth while inspiring kids to keep the magic alive in a new way.”  You can learn more about The Top Secret Truth About Santa Claus at: www.TheTruthAboutSanta.com.  You can also find The Top Secret Truth About Santa Claus on Instagram: TheTopSecretTruthAboutSanta, Facebook: DirectorCCBloom, and Pinterest: TheTopSecretTruthAboutSantaClaus.
