"The Awesome True Story of Santa!"
A direct and honest way to (re)introduce Santa Claus to your child
I wanted to be transparent about Santa Claus with my child from the start, and so this rhyming story was born.
The book tells of the origins of the man we now call Santa, and how he inspired others to give without seeking anything in return. We learn about why we continue to think of him when we give presents in the dark of winter, and how it can be fun to gift in secret and pretend that it's from "Santa Claus".
The book ends on a note of inspiration: "If you give, you can be Santa, too!"
