The heart of it all

More Than a Book Series

Magic Makers of the North Pole is not a collection of books. It is a village — snow-lit, warm-windowed, and open all year long to anyone who wants to visit.

The books, this website, the journal, the printables, the shop and every adventure still to come are simply different doors into the same place.

The heart behind the village

Meet the Author

Michelle Sweet — writing as Michelle Joy — built the North Pole she wished every child could visit: a village where kindness is the whole point, and where Christmas is a way of treating people rather than a single day on the calendar.

Her mission is simple. She wants families to slow down together, to notice the little things, and to leave this world believing that kindness creates magic — long after the last page is turned.
