Book excerpt: Mom, Today at the Christmas party Tommy said Santa isn't real! Every parent dreads the day, usually a few days before Christmas, when their child comes home in tears because someone at school has ruined the tradition of Santa for them. What do you say when your child questions the magic, the spirit, the existence of Santa? It's time to read a story that will change the way you handle the doubt.... a story that will change the way you console the tears.... a story that will make it okay to believe! Becoming Santa is a story that will change your child's life.... and yours. How do you go from that childhood belief like Buddy the Elf has, to answering that age old question of is Santa real? Just like the New York Sun newspaper editorial from September 21, 1897 answered the same question from a young girl in Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus, so too does Becoming Santa answer the same question for Daniel, a young boy who is sad and confused about Santa right before Christmas. This is a children's Christmas book every parent and grandparent should have on hand for when the time comes, because we all know, sooner or later, it will. You'll be so glad you have this new classic in children's literature in your collection and we're sure the book and the spirit of love and generosity will be handed down for generations to come. Reviews: "This is the next T'was the Night Before Christmas. Every parent needs to add this to their child's collection." Robin Hurst, Author, How Can I Choose? "Becoming Santa will tug at the heartstrings of anyone, any age, anywhere who has experienced giving like Santa...joyfully, generously, mysteriously. May you catch Daniel's compassionate spirit as he discovers this Christmas magic!" Laura Wayland, Founder of Auntie for Hire "This book is a delight and will be perfect for this often difficult transition. It is beautifully and simply written." Nancy Hudson, grandmother to William, 8, and Julia, 6 "Wow, I loved it! A gentle story about growing up and discovering the joy of giving to others." Katie Cox, Texas School Librarian From Cyndi "Go Go" Merritt, the author: "Becoming Santa was a labor of love. Now that I am a grandmother, this is a legacy retelling of how my own daughter was raised so that she can, in turn, hand it down to her son when the time comes. This is for Daniel and all the future Santas of the world."
