Ms. Claus Rescues Christmas
The Year Santa Claus Was Too Sick To Deliver Presents!
by
Marilyn Jackson
There’s trouble at the North Pole when Santa Claus is down with a bad flu on Christmas Eve and is too sick to deliver presents. His doctor insists that Christmas is cancelled, breaking the elves’ hearts and putting the yuletide season in jeopardy. But then Ms. Claus saves the holiday when she puts her foot down and exclaims, “I will go instead!” No one believes that she can take Santa’s place. Even Santa is doubtful. But Ms. Claus, facing her own fears, stands firm and courageous as she grips the sleigh’s reins and leaps into the snow-stormy night. Will Ms. Claus be able to save Christmas? Fun for all ages, Ms. Claus Rescues Christmas offers meaningful lessons in risk-taking and traditional roles in a hilarious and engaging manner. Told in verse and filled with endearing characters, it’s a story that’s sure to become a holiday favorite in many homes.
