A Christmas Gift for Santa

This gentle holiday picture book flips the usual Christmas script and asks a simple, sweet question: what does Santa get? When he arrives home exhausted on Christmas morning, Mrs. Claus has left him a handmade gift and a heartfelt note — a quiet moment that puts giving and love at the center of the story rather than receiving. The seek-and-find cat and mouse on every spread add a fun interactive layer for young children, and the cozy mixed-media illustrations earned praise from Publishers Weekly. Santa says a brief prayer before bed, making this one comfortable for faith-based families. It's simple and unhurried — perfect for a bedtime read in December. Best for ages 2–6.
