Ages 8-12 A child asking the question, "Is Santa real?" does not want to wait through a movie or a longer book to get their answer. They are expecting a yes or a no right away. This book is a thoughtful way to expand on that answer, written and drawn to be understood and enjoyed by children who are eight to eleven or twelve. Every child gets older and has questions about Santa Claus. This time need not be one of sadness and disappointment-for the child or the adult. "The Real Magic of Santa Claus" is a lesson in love and sharing. The goal of the book is, in five or ten minutes, to turn what is sometimes a disappointing yes-or-no answer, into a cherished experience for both the child and parent or grand-parent. "The Real Magic of Santa Claus" answers a child's questions honestly in such a way that the reader will come to their own conclusion as to whether or not Santa is a man in a red suit. They go on to discover that they are now part of the story, and that the heart of a generous orphan boy from Turkey can live on in them, as it has in millions for over a thousand years. They'll discover that this is much more magical than flying reindeer. (c) 2009 Canamucio
