by Gabrielle Vincent (Author)
First English-language edition of a 1994 French Christmas story about a child who meets a tiny, empty-handed Santa Claus on Christmas Eve.
On a snowy Christmas Eve, Magali encounters a tiny Santa Claus who has no gifts left to give and seems a little lost. Rather than asking him for something, she offers a gift of her own, beginning a gentle exchange built around kindness, compassion and unexpected friendship.
Originally published in French as Mon Petit Père Noël, the story brings Gabrielle Vincent's spare, expressive approach to a Christmas setting. Its focus on giving rather than receiving gives the familiar Santa story a quieter emotional centre.
For children ages 3 to 8, My Little Santa Claus works as a family read-aloud, bedtime story, holiday gift and addition to children's Christmas collections.
