Introducing Midori Ju: The Greatest Gift Isn't Under the Tree🎄
A Christmas story inspired by love, cherished memories, and the beautiful spirit of Julian.
Some stories are written from imagination. Others are born from the heart.
I'm excited to introduce The Greatest Gift Isn't Under the Tree, my first children's book and the beginning of Midori Ju — Stories.
Inspired by my beloved firstborn son, Julian, this beautifully illustrated Christmas story celebrates family traditions, kindness, gratitude, and the simple moments that become our most treasured memories.
Julian loved Christmas! His excitement was contagious, and his expressions of gratitude were unforgettable. He reminded me that happiness wasn't always found in the size of a gift, but in the love behind it.
Through the characters Midori Ju and his little brother Jordan, readers will experience the joy of decorating the Christmas tree, baking cookies, playing in the snow, celebrating family traditions, and discovering a lesson that reaches far beyond Christmas morning.
Julian's fascination also inspired the character Midori Ju, who is drawn to Japanese culture and shares his dream of visiting Japan.
Although Julian is no longer here to celebrate Christmas with us, his spirit lives on through these stories.
I hope that this book encourages families to slow down, laugh together, appreciate one another, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Because the greatest gift isn't always under the tree; sometimes, it's sitting right beside you.
Thank you for supporting this special journey and allowing a little piece of Julian's legacy into your home.
