As told by Authentic Bearded Santa, Becoming Santa Claus: An Origin Story imagines the journey that transformed Nicholas of Myra into the man the world would one day know as Santa Claus. It seeks to explain the wonder of the Santa Claus legend with thoughtful, plausible answers, instead of the pat, MAGIC! This is the hardcover version, with color illustrations.
Leaving behind wealth, comfort, and prestige, Nicholas follows a calling that carries him far from home and into unfamiliar lands. Along the way, he faces hardship, mystery, and unexpected companionship as stories of his generosity begin to spread and a name he never sought starts to take hold.
Blending historical fiction, adventure, warmth, and wonder, this illustrated story explores the beginnings of the Santa Claus legend through themes of generosity, sacrifice, courage, friendship, and purpose.
Written for children, families, and readers of all ages, Becoming Santa Claus: An Origin Story is a Christmas story meant to be shared, remembered, and revisited year after year.
