About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing the commercial side of the holidays or expresses concern that the 'magic' of Christmas feels like it is being replaced by shopping and gadgets. It is a perfect choice for kids who are ready to see themselves as heroes capable of protecting family traditions. SantaKid tells the story of Chrissie Claus, who must save Christmas after a corporate mogul named Warrie Ransom tries to buy out the North Pole and turn it into a sterile, profit-driven business called Exmas. The story explores themes of believing in things you cannot see, the importance of joy over efficiency, and the power of a child's courage. With its short chapters and festive illustrations, it is an accessible read for early elementary students that reinforces the idea that the true spirit of the holidays belongs to everyone, not just those with the most money.
