Leo and the Midnight Wish List: a sample storybook starring Leo
A real book made with Panelo
The words of “Leo and the Midnight Wish List”
Starring Leo. Made from one family photo with the Panelo kids storybook maker, in the 3D Movie style.
For Leo, whose cheerful songs and clever knots can brighten the darkest night.
A young reindeer dangled upside down outside Leo's bedroom window. A blizzard gust had swiped Santa's clipboard and scattered three glowing pages across the snowy rooftops.
Leo peered at his dark hallway, then yanked his bright red laces into unbreakable double-knots. He tucked Waddles the knitted penguin under his arm and scrambled to the sill. “Double-knot and dash!”
The spicy smell of gingerbread led them to the bakery roof. While Barnaby tangled his antlers in the weathervane, Leo snatched page one right off the smoking chimney.
Page two drifted over the duck pond. Barnaby skidded on his belly, but Leo slid Waddles across the ice like a hockey puck to pin it down. “Hold tight, Waddles!”
At quarter-to-midnight, the last page flew into the tall clock tower. The doorway was pitch-black, and Leo's stomach did a giant flip.
Leo squeezed Waddles tight and sang Jingle Bells at the top of his lungs. He swung his long red shoelace like a lasso and snagged the final wish! “Gotcha on the big hand!”
Midnight struck in a flash of gold as Santa swooped down to catch his list. He scooped up Leo and Barnaby for a soaring loop over the sleepy town.
Back in his room, Leo patted Waddles and marched straight down the unlit hallway without a single wobble. The dark did not feel so big anymore. “We made it, buddy.”
