Many, many years ago, there was a little boy named Santa Claus who lived in the great north country with his mother, father, and homebound little sister. Santa wanted to do anything he could to make his sister smile. He would gather her colored stones, pick her flowers, but when Christmas came, their father had no money to buy real toys for the children. And that was when Santa had an idea.
A delight for children young and old, How Santa Became a Toymaker is a new look into the beginnings of the jolly man in the red coat, filled with valuable lessons of kindness, love, and generosity the whole family will enjoy.
