In this standalone sequel to instant New York Times Bestseller Dolly Parton's Billy the Kid Makes it Big, Dolly's favorite god-dog is back with a tale about the true meaning of Christmas.

French bulldog Billy the Kid is one lucky pup. He has everything he could ever want: a place in Nashville, a great band, and even a cross-country tour. It's all totally tail-riffic...but he can't help but feel that something's missing. When Billy's band is scheduled to perform at Barkafeller Center on Christmas Day, he'll have to decide what matters most to him: fame or family?

Written by Dolly Parton with Erica S. Perl and illustrated by MacKenzie Haley, this is a hilarious yet heartwarming picture book about the importance of family, friendship, and of course, paw-some music.

"The premise is simple but heartfelt and effective, thanks to that Dolly Parton charm and enough Easter eggs for her fans (like Billy’s song “Barking 9 to 5”)." —School Library Journal
