Becoming Santa
by Springs Pacelli


What is the true gift of Santa Claus? When a curious little girl named Savanah finds a mysterious gift waiting for her on Christmas Eve, she embarks on a journey that changes how she sees the holiday forever. Inside the box is not just a red dress, Santa’s hat, and a book, but the beginning of a magical revelation: she is Santa. But how can that be? Told in lyrical rhymes and brought to life with warm, enchanting illustrations, Becoming Santa reimagines the spirit of Christmas in a way that resonates with young readers and grown-ups alike. Santa isn’t just a man in a red suit or a giver of gifts, he is the embodiment of love, kindness, and generosity we can all share. Perfect for parents, grandparents, teachers, and librarians, this heartfelt story encourages children to look beyond the glitter and gifts to discover that the magic of Santa lives inside us all. A beautiful addition to any holiday collection, Becoming Santa is a timeless tale that will inspire new traditions and warm hearts for years to come. Inspire kindness this Christmas.
