Description
Before the sleigh. Before the red suit. Before the Ho, Ho, Ho… there was a boy, a backpack, and a wish that changed everything.
On a magical New Year’s Eve at the North Pole, Santa’s elves, Rosette, Laura, and Will, gather around a crackling bonfire and ask the one question no one has ever asked: “Santa… what’s YOUR story?”
So Santa tells the tale he has never shared with anyone (except Mrs. Claus, of course). It begins with Nicholas, a curious boy who couldn’t stop exploring, and a mysterious traveler who gives him a globe ornament with a riddle hidden inside. With a backpack full of dreams, Nicholas sets off to see the world. He chases a sneaky goat, loses his map in a rushing river, follows the North Star, and discovers that the greatest adventures happen in the heart.
Then a hand-carved toy for a heartbroken boy sparks a secret mission. Gift by gift and village by village, Nicholas becomes Saint Nick, until the Spirit of Christmas chooses him to become Santa Claus. Children will discover where the sleigh and reindeer came from, why Santa’s suit is red, how he met Mrs. Claus and the elves, and how he became Traveling Santa, the year-round adventurer who still explores the world today.
Bursting with humor, heart, and SANTASTICAL magic, this story celebrates:
- Curiosity and courage, even when you get lost along the way
- The joy of giving, quietly and with love
- Kindness that connects us across every culture
- The true meaning of Christmas, the light, hope, and love that began in Bethlehem
Book Two of The Santastical World of Traveling Santa, beautifully illustrated by Marcela Lois. It can be enjoyed on its own or as part of the series, and it ends with a sing-along SANTASTICAL Song and a special note from Traveling Santa.
Perfect for bedtime, holiday traditions, and every child who still believes.
