I See Me released a new holiday storybook for the season called A Christmas Dream for Me that can be personalized with a child's name. Other personalized information can also be plugged in, which will be included on a dedication page. Throughout the Christmas story, the lullaby book shares images of snowmen, dancing gingerbread men, flying reindeer and singing swans, and an adventure with a magical sugarplum fairy to soothe young ones to sleep. A Christmas Dream for Me can optionally be purchased with a personalized matching ornament or plush polar bear toy.
As of November 1st, I See Me kicked off its annual Letters of Love campaign, which invites people to pen a digital letter to a child with a terminal illness. I See Me also provides monetary donations and book vouchers to children through Shining Stars programs.
