A Beautiful Heirloom

Nicholas The Santa Story by Tom Catalano is a most delightful book whatever your age.

The book combines Santa with the story of Jesus in a most charming way. It is beautifully done and the perfect way to introduce our children to the true meaning of Christmas.

The story is written in rhyme giving a beautiful flow and enabling our children to join in as they become familiar with the words.

Santa, a magical element of Christmas, combines with Jesus who is the true meaning of Christmas. All is beautifully and thoughtfully done.

The book is most beautifully illustrated by Lester Yocum. I could stare at the pictures for hours. They also provide starting points for discussions with our children and expansions into the real meaning of Christmas.

Nicholas The Santa Story would be a welcome addition to any bookshelf no matter how young or old you are. This is a beautiful heirloom to pass down the generations.

I received a free copy from the author. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
