News correspondent, host, actress, and producer Megan Alexander has published a new picture book for children celebrating the joys, wonders, and traditions of a small-town Christmas. “I just really want to contribute positive, uplifting content to the world,” she says, which inspired The Magic of a Small Town Christmas.
Last year Alexander launched her UPTv show, Small Town Christmas, which highlights the holiday traditions of small towns around the country. “I thought, let’s put it into a kid’s book where we could read with our kids and say, ‘Hey, let’s look forward to the local ice skating rink and picking out our tree at Mr. Richard’s tree farm.'”
“I love Christmas time, I love that it’s an opportunity to slow down, cherish family and friends,” according to Alexander. “I just want to instill that in my kids.”
The Magic of a Small Town Christmas is available now.
