\nFollowing the first whimsical book about a small elf with a big heart, \u201cChristmas Steve Meets Christmas Carol\u201d tells the story of a 6-foot-2 tall elf girl named Carol who, while big on the outside, is scared on the inside to let her talents shine. With a little help from Christmas Steve, Carol learns what happens when you let go of fear and start dreaming out loud. Illustrated by Design Art Studio and published by Branded Pros, the 32-page hardcover book retails for $17.99.<\/p>\n

Since 2017, Berra has donated nearly $50,000 in book-generated profits to the #LoveUp Foundation. This year, with the arrival of \u201cChristmas Carol,\u201d the radio host and author is implementing a buy-one, give-one campaign: Every book purchased at christmassteve.org will be matched with a second book donated to a Children\u2019s Miracle Network Hospital, St. Jude\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital, a Title 1 school or one of #LoveUp\u2019s affiliated programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, we wanted to go beyond the monetary donation and share what\u2019s at the heart of these books \u2014\u00a0a love of reading \u2014\u00a0with kids everywhere,\u201d said Berra. \u201cThe story, the proceeds and the gift of the book itself to children in need all combine to make the ultimate impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to featuring the two hilarious and heartwarming children\u2019s books, Berra\u2019s Christmas Steve brand has expanded to include fashion t-shirts with funny elf sayings, kids\u2019 and baby clothing, natural wood toys and more elf-themed merchandise.<\/p>\n
