Encourage your little reader this holiday season with a new picture book from award winning author, Alane Adams. The Santa Thief tells the story of Georgie who is very excited to see that the pond is completely frozen over—ready for a young boy to go skating!—but Georgie’s ice skates are too small. All Georgie wants for Christmas is a new pair of skates. But times are tough for Georgie’s family, and he gets the disappointing news Santa might not come this year. Georgie decides to take matters into his own hands by “stealing” Santa’s identity—and discovers what Christmas is all about. The Santa Thief is a heartwarming tale of boyhood set in 1920s Pennsylvania for children ages 4-8.
