Sinopsis

The Boy Who Would Be Santa is the first historical fiction picture book rendering Saint Nicholas as a boy and man, using first person perspective with extensive background information.

Imagine Saint Nicholas speaking honestly to children about his early happiness, his parents' charity, his struggle after their deaths, his teenage journey of discovery, kindness to orphans, miracles, and evolution into Santa Claus!

The story distinguishes itself with:

    • Nicholas's heart-felt, first-person message. "Be kind and be happy every day. Each of you can become a santa too!" Will resonate with children everywhere.
    • Surprising, lesser-known truths about Nicholas's background.
    • Factual linkage of Nicholas to Santa and Saint Nicholas celebrations around the world.
    • Inviting, clarifying back matter with an extensive bibliography for families.

What Others Say About This Book:

Sitting by the fire this cold Colorado morning, tears sprung from my eyes reading this precious and beautifully illustrated children's book, 'The Boy Who Would Be Santa.' I discovered the buried treasure of the life of Saint, Nicholas that christens and recovers the sense of the sacred behind the beautiful but often commercialized tradition of Santa Claus and Christmas gift giving.

The 'once upon a time' simplicity of this little book will inspire parents to pray for their children as the heroes they were meant to be and instill values that will cause the child to 'keep them in their hearts' after they have passed away. I saw a vision of hundreds of parents and grandparents reading this book to their children and grands on Christmas morning - making the magic moment of gift giving sacred.
