Before the beard and flying sleigh, Claus was a child who needed a home. Necile, a woodland sprite, took him in and raised him with care. When he discovers children beyond the forest, he finds a way to carry her kindness into the world—one small gift at a time. A rhyming, illustrated origin story freely inspired by L. Frank Baum's The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. A Fluid Dreaming Christmas companion for reading aloud with children ages 4–7.
