Author

I have read aloud this family-friendly book to my children, one chapter per night in December—every December—for over a decade. The book traces the life of Santa from his origin as Nicholas of Myra, across centuries of history, up to his status as the legendary figure we all know and love today.

As a fictional autobiography, Santa himself narrates the story in the first person, so we get to share his thoughts, emotions, and motivations directly. Santa becomes more than just a magical figure but also a well-developed main character with profound humanity.

This book perfectly…

From Adam's list on Jesus or Santa as central characters.
