A Little Christmas Magic, a Lot of Love.

First published in 2005, Moon and Star: A Christmas Story is a beautifully illustrated Canadian children's book that captures the wonder of Christmas and the extraordinary bonds of friendship.

Moon is a gentle, lovable dog who lives in a magical toy shop filled with wonderful treasures. Of all the toys in the shop, his favourite is Star, a delicate little porcelain kitten.

But when Star is purchased as a Christmas gift, Moon's world is turned upside down. What follows is a touching journey of devotion, courage, and love, with a little Christmas magic along the way.

With its enchanting illustrations, nostalgic charm, and heartfelt message, Moon and Star reminds readers young and old that love and kindness can make even the impossible feel possible.

It's a story to read together on Christmas Eve, to share with little ones for years to come, and to treasure long after the decorations have been packed away.

Robin Muller — Celebrating Canadian Storytelling

Robin Muller is an award-winning Canadian author and illustrator whose beautifully imagined stories have delighted children and families for decades.

Best known for The Magic Paintbrush, which earned him the prestigious Governor General's Award for children's book illustration, Robin has created an impressive collection of beloved children's books, including The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Mollie Whuppie and the Giant, and The Nightwood.

His work is celebrated for its rich, imaginative illustrations, timeless storytelling, and ability to bring a little magic to the everyday.

Through Moon and Star, Robin brings together two things especially close to our hearts: the magic of Christmas and the unconditional love of animals.

We're incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share this special collection with our community in support of the animals at HSGN.

One Book. Two Beautiful Stories.

When you purchase Moon and Star, you're doing more than bringing home a Christmas story.

You're helping us write a new chapter for an animal in need.

Every day at the Humane Society of Greater Niagara, animals arrive at our doors in need of safety, compassion, and a second chance. Some need urgent veterinary treatment. Others need time to heal, a warm place to rest, or simply someone to show them kindness.

Your purchase helps make that possible.

All proceeds from the sale of these special edition books directly support the animals in our care, helping provide nutritious meals, veterinary treatment, safe shelter, enrichment, and the love they deserve while they wait for their forever homes.

Just as Moon's story reminds us of the power of love and devotion, your generosity reminds the animals in our care that they haven't been forgotten.

And that's a pretty wonderful gift to give.

Bring Home a Little Christmas Magic

Quantities are limited, and once these special copies are gone, they're gone!
