Poppy Harlow Reveals The True Story Behind Her Children’s Christmas Book

Our friend and CNN reporter Poppy Harlow chatted with Cubby and Christine about her brand new children's book, The Biggest Little Boy: A Christmas Story, based off a true story involving her son.

Harlow shared the story, "Two Christmases ago, I'm walking down this street near our house in Brooklyn through one of those Christmas tree artists. Luca, my son, grabs one of the big trees and almost pulls it over. I still remember the moment, standing between the CVS and the Christmas tree and thought - that's a great Christmas book. How am I going to write this and teach kids that they don't need these big things because there was no way that that big tree was fitting in our place. SO that's where the idea came from and I took pen to paper, wrote it, took it to a book agency, took it to a publisher and I cannot believe it came to life!"

Later, Harlow gives advice to Cubby and Christine: do not write a book about one of your children and not the other. Check out the full interview with Poppy Harlow in the video player above and get your copy of The Biggest Little Boy: A Christmas Story today!
