Is Santa real? Even more real than you ever imagined. The honest answer is better than yes or no. When your child asks, Is Santa real? you don't have to choose between honesty and Christmas magic. The True Story of Santa Claus tells kids the truth about Santa without breaking their hearts. Rooted in the real history of Saint Nicholas of Myra, this Christmas picture book reveals that Santa is real, just not in the way you thought, and shows how his spirit lives on today. THE TRUE STORY OF SAINT NICHOLAS AND THE ORIGIN OF SANTA CLAUS
In the year 270, a Greek boy named Nikolaos was born in what is now Turkey. Orphaned young, he turned sorrow into compassion. He gave food and gold in secret, comforted the sick, protected sailors, and rescued people in danger. Stories of Saint Nicholas the Wonder-Worker spread around the world, and over time he became Santa Claus. His spirit has inspired centuries of secret giving. Today, his spirit still moves parents, grandparents, neighbors, and entire nations to to make ordinary days extraordinary and give with nothing expected in return. A BOOK ABOUT CHOICES, COURAGE, AND KINDNESS
Santa started out as just a child with a choice: the easy path, or a life of intention and purpose. Kids discover that every great person begins as an ordinary kid, and that they can choose to change the world for the better too. When they feel Santa's spirit nudge them and choose to act, the magic stays alive. Magic doesn't happen to you. It happens through you. INSIDE, FAMILIES WILL DISCOVER:
