Description

Santa’s Birthday Gift was written in response to a grandchild’s question, after reading the story of the Nativity. She asked, “But where’s Santa?” 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

Story Behind The Book

Watching a couple of children playing one day, I realized that one of them needed to learn how to share. How could I make little ones think about sharing without turning it into a "lesson"? That's how Mine! came to be.

Reviews

This is a charming story in rhyme about Amanda, a little girl who has trouble sharing. Naturally any parent, caretaker, or teacher has run into this problem many times. This tale will resonate with young children who either experience this problem or see it in their playmates. The artwork is bold and daring with its wide-eyed characters. Delia Latham, whose "chosen genre is that of inspirational romance," has chosen to share her take on sharing and friendship ... gleaned from the experience of her own wide-eyed moppets. This story would be an excellent choice to read and discuss during circle or story time in the classroom or homeschool setting. D. Fowler
