Secret Santas: And the Twelve Days of Christmas Giving

by Courtney Petruzzelli, Melissa B. Snyder (Illustrator)

Secret Santas And The Twelve Days of Giving teaches kids that Christmas isn't about the gifts they will receive, but about what you can give. The joy and hope you help spread is what Christmas is all about. All is merry and bright when you learn how to give. Santa invites you to help spread Christmas cheer as part of his “Secret Santa Team” this year. Secret Santas And The Twelve Days of Giving is inspired by a real life tradition that the author and her family follows to give anonymous gifts to those deserving or in need. Kids will follow along the Secret Santas inside this book as they learn about the great joy that comes from giving and helping create the perfect Christmas for others. Kindness makes us strong. Santa has seen your compassion and heart. Sweet child, you've been given a marvelous gift, the ability to make the world's spirit lift. So for the next twelve days, give a friend, neighbor, teacher, foster child, or war veteran, a present that will make their heart sing. Bringing joy to others is what having a Merry Christmas is about! Here, at Puppy Dogs & Ice Cream, we believe that children's books are more than just stories - they're vessels of inspiration, education, and imagination.

Nostalgic illustrations bring a sweet atmosphere to this cute, rhyming story about a Secret Santas mission that readers are encouraged to participate in and continue to demonstrate the joy of giving. A list of questions at the end of the story serve as a reader's guide for starting the tradition in their family.

Rhyming poetic verses that tells how specially selected children by Santa are put on a list to become Secret Santas and share the joys of Christmas for twelve days by giving gifts to neighbors and friends without them knowing who is leaving the gifts and why. This tale teaches kindness toward others.
