Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Will Santa Come This Christmas?
Emily Sims · 2021
58/100
👎 Skip It
This compassionate little book served a real purpose in 2021 when pandemic anxiety was fresh for children, and the hopeful tone is genuinely kind. But pandemic-specific framing ages quickly, and a 24-page self-published title with no independent critical review can't carry the timelessness a gift-book purchase deserves. Worth considering for a family that lived through that particular holiday season — less so as a lasting shelf title.
