The Candy Cane Maker
On a stormy Christmas Eve, the mischievous Wyndsor Wind sweeps little Lainey away from her family. Lost in the snowy forest, she and a new friend invent something sweet — and the candy cane is born.
Every December, millions of candy canes get hooked onto branches — and no one ever asks where they came from. The Tale of Lainey Cane gives families the answer: a brave girl, a talking squirrel, a winter wind with a snowman collection, and one very clever idea involving berries.
It's a story about listening, staying close, and never losing sight of your family — sized for ages 3–8 and for grown-ups who read out loud with the voices.
Six years old, hard to scare for long, impossible to miss in her purple snowsuit. She listens beyond what she can see.
A talking squirrel who has warned plenty of lost children. Lainey is the first one who ever listened.
The winter wind himself — sly, blustery, and always looking to add one more snowman to his collection.
