Both children help solve the problem
Santa's littlest reindeer is hiding in the garden. One child spots the tiny hoofprints; the other knows the secret hiding place. Neither role depends on being taller or older. Both names appear on the cover and on their reindeer-food pail.
Twins, close in age or years apart
Add one clear photo of each child and enter their names and ages when asked. The pictures should keep a toddler a toddler and twins close in size. Check both characters in the preview rather than assuming one photo can stand in for both.
Choose the right cast before you start
The two-child edition features two children. The grandparent edition features one child and one grandparent. They are separate editions with different roles and personalization. Choose the pair you want to see together in the finished book.

Two children
Santa's Missing Reindeer
Sample: Maya & Leo and Santa's Missing Reindeer
Two children, ages 2 to 10
Maya and Leo scatter reindeer food; then Leo hears sleigh bells overhead.
Words from opening spread 1
On Christmas Eve, Maya and Leo made reindeer food, so Santa would find them. "Just a sprinkle," said Maya, but Leo wanted lots and lots. They counted, "One, two, three," and up it went, a little onto the snow and a lot onto them. Then Leo stopped laughing. "Listen." The sky was jingling.

A reindeer eats from their pail, and Santa reads Maya and Leo’s names.
Words from opening spread 2
The sleigh landed in their garden. Leo held out the pail, and a big reindeer pushed its nose in. Crunch, munch. The pail tipped, and Maya caught it as Santa bent to read the names. "Maya and Leo," laughed Santa. "My reindeer smelled it from the clouds." Then Santa went quiet.

Nutmeg’s harness is empty. Santa asks both children to find the hiding reindeer.
Words from opening spread 3
The littlest harness hung empty. Santa whispered, "Nutmeg got a fright and ran off to hide. I can't go without her." Maya was already looking at the shed. "We're the best at hide-and-seek." Leo scooped up a mitten full of oats for Nutmeg, and Santa knelt beside them. "Can you two find her?"
