A Little Book of Christmas presents four stories and four poems. The stories take place in New York City. The mix of tension, humor and the joy of the season is perfect in each story. These are not religious tales: the main theme of the entire book is more the Spirit of Santa Claus, that infinite, loving generosity the Jolly Old Elf is known for throughout the world (Debbie Zapata, Goodreads). Heart-warming stories for the whole family.
