Santa is feeling grumpy! He has too many letters to read. His reindeer are quarreling. Someone's taken his slippers. And Mrs. Claus wants him to eat more vegetables. When Santa decides to try something new (working in a department store, bakery, toy store, and delivering mail), he discovers that nothing is as rewarding as just being himself.
Featuring a comical cast of animal characters--plus a small mouse with BIG attitude for readers to find hidden on every page--this hardcover picture book about self-acceptance and overcoming obstacles makes a great holiday gift for kids 3-7!
Look for It's Not Easy Being a Ghost coming soon!
STEPH LABERIS is a character designer for animation and kidlit illustrator, based in Northern California. Her artwork reflects her love for animals and there's usually a chance to spot a cameo from one of her pet cats, rats or dogs in her books! When she's not drawing, she enjoys tabletop gaming, glass working, and doting on the squirrels in her backyard--who seem to have adopted her.
