Lauren Martin has beautifully captured the essence of this response and shares an inspiring and child-friendly version in this lovely book. The original editorial response is also included at the end of the book. Filled with charming and colorful illustrations, this heartwarming story will delight children and readers of all ages.

This beautiful message is important for children and adults alike to remember during the holiday season and throughout the year. The inclusion of the original letter helps children to understand that the existence of Santa has been questioned for many years and the editor's affirming response heartens children to believe that joy and goodness exist in the world. This uplifting book is highly recommended and will surely become a treasured addition to any library." 5-Star Review by Melinda Facal for Readers' Favorite.

Santa Claus
Author: Gerry Bowler
Publisher: McClelland & Stewart
ISBN: 1551996081
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
An entertaining, often surprising look at the life of the world’s most influential fictional character. He is the embodiment of charity and generosity, a creation of mythology, a tool of clever capitalists. The very idea of him is enduring and powerful. Santa Claus was born in early-nineteenth-century America, but his family tree goes back seven hundred years to Saint Nicholas, patron saint of children. Intervening generations were shaggy and strange — whip-wielding menaces to naughty boys and girls. Yet as the raucous, outdoor, alcohol-fuelled holiday gave way to a more domestic, sentimental model, a new kind of gift-bringer was called for — a loveable elf, still judgmental but far less threatening. In this engaging social and cultural history, Gerry Bowler examines the place of Santa Claus in history, literature, advertising, and art. He traces his metamorphosis from a beardless youth into a red-suited peddler. He reveals the lesser-known aspects of the gift-bringer’s life — Santa’s involvement with social and political causes of all stripes (he enlisted on the Union side in the American Civil War), his starring role in the movies and as adman for gun-makers and insurance companies. And he demolishes the myths surrounding Santa Claus and Coca-Cola. Santa Claus: A Biography will stand as the classic work on the long-lived and multifarious Mr. Claus.
