Cross-Eyed Josephine & The Grumpy Christmas Star is a funny, heartwarming underwater Christmas adventure full of magic, friendship, and unexpected surprises.

When Josephine – a cheerful whale whose eyes never agree – discovers a grumpy little Christmas star in the ocean, she quickly learns something is wrong… the star has lost her light. And without it, Christmas might never shine.

The tiny star, Twinka, is dramatic, frustrated, and convinced she's completely broken. But Josephine, Luna the sparkly jellyfish, and Joseph the slightly questionable baker crab refuse to give up.

Together, they dive into a dark and mysterious part of the ocean on a mission to bring her light back.

Filled with humor, cozy Christmas moments, and lovable chaos, this story reminds children that even when we feel dim, our light is never truly gone.

Perfect for bedtime reading, holiday traditions, and children ages 4–10 who love magical stories, ocean adventures, and characters who are a little different—but shine in their own way.
