Meet Santa Claus as a young child. He’s just as jolly as ever, always full of surprises and ready for adventure. He shows us the universal power of kindness, knowing the race is made more fun when they all work together. You’ll meet Santa’s friend, Rover the Reindeer, who loves to have fun, race fast, and have adventures with Santa. They are given fun competition (and some mischief) by Henry B. Benry and Gruff Gruff, the biggest team of all. This origins story of Santa Claus also introduces us to how Santa meets the future Mrs. Claus... when we meet a young spirited girl, Holly. She races so fast with her teammate Jingles, all while showing the virtues of generosity, true friendship, and the spirit of Christmas along the way!

ready, set, go!
My goal in creating Santa’s First Race was to spread Christmas cheer to people of all walks of life, making spirits brighter, homes happier. So I packed it full of holiday favorites, Dr. Seuss inspired verses, and candy land inspired scenes. It reads like I feel these days- so merry and bright! Creating this story brought me so much new joy, and new joy is made better by sharing it. I love sharing this story with you and my joy through it. That is, ultimately, the beauty of stories. Especially this one. I appreciate you guys being here so much. Without further ado, here’s my debut picture book- Santa’s First Race!
