Book Description
Every year, Santa presents a dilemma for parents who love the magic-but worry about not being honest. InThe Santa Story Revisited, both memoir and how-to book, Arita Trahan sets forth a brilliant and simple solution. Drawing upon a child's innate and wondrous sense of play and imagination, she crafts a magical Santa they never outgrow.Santa is established as the hero of a favorite story and children are encouraged to "make-believe" along with everyone else who is already playing their own version of the Santa game. Parents play Santawiththeir children, instead of justforthem. Because the child can play both roles-giving secretly as our hero Santa, as well receiving from him-they experience early the joy inherent in giving. An approach that benefits parents and children at all stages and ages, Arita also coaches the reader through various scenarios that may occur. Larry Dossey, MD, author of HEALING WORDS calls it ". a marvelous way of honoring the magic of Santa without deception. This is parenting at its best."

Book Description
USA Today Bestseller! One of Refinery29's Best Reads of September In this novel authorized by the Little House Heritage Trust, Sarah Miller vividly recreates the beauty, hardship, and joys of the frontier in a dazzling work of historical fiction, a captivating story that illuminates one courageous, resilient, and loving pioneer woman as never before—Caroline Ingalls, "Ma" in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s beloved Little House books. In the frigid days of February, 1870, Caroline Ingalls and her family leave the familiar comforts of the Big Woods of Wisconsin and the warm bosom of her family, for a new life in Kansas Indian Territory. Packing what they can carry in their wagon, Caroline, her husband Charles, and their little girls, Mary and Laura, head west to settle in a beautiful, unpredictable land full of promise and peril. The pioneer life is a hard one, especially for a pregnant woman with no friends or kin to turn to for comfort or help. The burden of work must be shouldered alone, sickness tended without the aid of doctors, and babies birthed without the accustomed hands of mothers or sisters. But Caroline’s new world is also full of tender joys. In adapting to this strange new place and transforming a rough log house built by Charles’ hands into a home, Caroline must draw on untapped wells of strength she does not know she possesses. For more than eighty years, generations of readers have been enchanted by the adventures of the American frontier’s most famous child, Laura Ingalls Wilder, in the Little House books. Now, that familiar story is retold in this captivating tale of family, fidelity, hardship, love, and survival that vividly reimagines our past.
