My Santa, Your Santa

Product Description

This is a story explaining how Santa can be everywhere at once, how he can get in and out of houses that don’t have chimneys, and how he can look like many different people. The answer to all of this? He is made of magic of course! This heartwarming Christmas story explores the idea that Santa can look like anyone when he enters a child’s home because he is magic. The book highlights six countries with a child and Santa from each, with each Santa looking like the child (or one of their parents) and wearing the traditional outfits of that country. We go from an African American boy in USA, to a redhead girl in the UK, to a young boy in a wheelchair in France, to a biracial Aboriginal Australian girl in Australia, to a young Hispanic boy in Mexico, and finish with a young girl in Korea. This book is for any family of any color, situation, or ability. Any parent or guardian can dress up as Santa and use this book to help tell their child why Santa might look so familiar to them. All children want to see themselves represented in books they read, so this book is focused on the diversity of Santa across the globe. A great read for parents and children of all ages.

From the Author

My Husband and I wanted to make a book that could help our son understand why Santa would look like his Dad if he dressed up as him for Christmas to surprise him. However, there aren’t many books about a black Santa and my husband was worried it wouldn’t work. So, we decided to make a book to help our son understand and encourage his imagination to thrive. We wanted to include all different types of Santa’s so that families all over the world could explain to their children why Santa doesn’t just look like the standard White Santa.
