Peggy will do anything to bring back her family's Christmas spirit in this second story in the illustrated middle grade series about the adorable and silly Peggy the pug!
With only a few days before Christmas, Peggy's family is stressed out and can't seem to stop squabbling. Peggy desperately wishes she could turn into a reindeer so she could help her family find some Christmas magic! She tries eating carrots, giving herself antlers and a glowing red nose, but nothing works—and the messes she makes only make more problems at home. Finally, Peggy decides that the only solution is to go to the North Pole and ask Santa for help!

      Seeking her forever home, a puppy desperately tries to become the pet she believes her adoptive family wants: a unicorn. Peggy, an inquisitive young pug with floppy black ears, wants an owner’s love most of all. But love comes with strings attached with her negligent first owner, before Peggy is fostered by a cued-white family of five over Christmas. As the family reels from the recent loss of their previous dog, Peggy wonders if they’ll ever love another as much. Hatching a plan to become a unicorn (“I can be anything I want to be... so I’ll be a unicorn!”), Peggy makes her best attempts, with messy results. Nevertheless, the family continues to show Peggy patience and kindness. Black-and-white sketched illustrations are interspersed throughout as Swift pens a warmly familial story through the eyes of a pup who thinks love is earnable—when really the family “wanted her all along.” Ages 7–10.
