Description

<p><span style="color:#000000;line-height:115%;font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">Santa’s Birthday Gift was written in response to a grandchild’s question, after reading the story of the Nativity.<span>  </span>She asked, “But where’s Santa?”<span>  </span>This story tells the story of the Nativity and then goes on to tell the story about how when Jesus is born, Santa sees the star at the North Pole and travels to see the baby.  Since he is a toymaker, he brings his bag of toys - and offers them to the Christ Child, and then to all the people of the town.  His birthday gift to Jesus is a promise to bring gifts to all good boys and girls each year on the Christ Child's birthday</span></p>

Story Behind The Book

I had an idea, I knew the beginning, (the body in the cave that wakes up) and the ending, I just had to fit in the bits in the middle. I wanted to play with people's expectations, hence when Onnil claims she's a cliche. Also dinosaurs, I wanted people to think, oh here we go Jurassic Park and then do something completely different. I hope you like it.
