What is the true meaning of Santa Claus? An inquisitive little girl named Savanah would like to know. Is it just about buying presents? In this unique and heartwarming story, Santa is not just a jolly old man in a red suit. As Savanah grows and learns about the true meaning of Christmas, she discovers that there is more to Santa than material goods. Join Savanah, and learn how the spirit of Christmas lives within all of us. Becoming Santa challenges the conventional notion of Santa Claus and encourages young readers to embrace the spirit of kindness and giving year-round.
