This charming tale about Santa Claus’s first time celebrating Christmas, written by the talented Mac Barnett in addition to soft, endearing illustrations by Sydney Smith, is truly the perfect children’s book for the holiday season. Mostly a festive book showcasing familiar holiday traditions, decorations, and treats, it’s also an opportunity to display the value of empathy and acts of service. It demonstrates how important it is to make the holidays special for everyone, especially those who work hard to create magic for the rest of us to enjoy.
