*Inspired by the groundbreaking Netflix Original musical Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, shortlisted by the Oscars and heralded by Rotten Tomatoes as the Best Reviewed Family Film of 2020, this all-new picture book, The Perfect Gift: A Jingle Jangle Story is the sequel to The Square Root of Possible and follows Journey as she shows The Buddy 3000 the true meaning of Christmas.
The world-wide response to our film was so overwhelming that we knew these characters needed life outside of the film,” said David E. Talbert. “Our partnership with Penguin Random House is bringing these beloved characters into homes across the world, creating fun and wholesome stories for the entire family.”
In The Perfect Gift: A Jingle Jangle Story, Journey, Jessica, and Jeronicus are back again with their greatest invention yet, The Buddy 3000. Journey is prepared to have a magical Christmas with Buddy. But while she is introducing him to the small wonders of the world, she panics and realizes she forgot to get him a gift. Journey scours the town looking for the perfect thing until she learns she may have had it all along.
“The title of The Perfect Gift seemed fitting because our movie, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey gave so much to us all,” expressed Lyn Sisson-Talbert. “It’s the gift that keeps on giving and those gifts are perfect in every way.”
A delightfully illustrated holiday story about finding the perfect present for someone special, The Perfect Gift: A Jingle Jangle Story is a heartwarming addition for global fans of the film and for holiday shoppers looking for new, diverse Christmas stories.
