"Little Pink Kitty Christmas," based on Pete's holiday song by the

same name, was released as a children's book.  The story, told by the lyrics of the song, along with beautiful illustrations tell the tale of a dad’s desperate, last minute Christmas Eve search for a stuffed pink kitty cat for his little girl. Beautifully illustrated, the story describes how just when all seems lost, dad finds exactly what he’s looking for… and how the next morning he realizes the lesson we’re all meant to share:  It’s not about things you give and receive because if you have friends and family you love and who love you, you’re already rich beyond compare.  The book is available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Little-Pink-Kitty-Christmas-Marksteiner/dp/0578792621/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=%22Little+Pink+Kitty+Christmas%22&qid=1605465558&sr=8-1
