Santa's Review:
Nancy E. Merrill writes with warmth and gentle humor, the kind that invites families to cuddle close and read “just one more page.” Parents and grandparents will find it easy to weave this book into a simple tradition: a sprinkle of wonder here, a nudge toward kindness there, and a cozy bedtime promise that the elves—and I—are always rooting for them. I also appreciate the way Nancy wrote Elf Dust with genuine belief in Christmas wonder. I can tell when a human really gets what the North Pole is all about—and she does.
Elf Dust Is a twinkling treasure! This tale bottles a bit of North Pole wonder and sprinkles it into everyday life, reminding families that the magic of Christmas isn’t a date on the calendar—it’s a habit of heart. What I love about this story is that it isn’t just about “being good”—it’s about keeping the Christmas spirit going all year long. That’s something I’ve been saying for centuries: kindness in January counts just as much as kindness in December. This book gives families a simple, cozy way to remind children that love, helpfulness, and good behavior are noticed—by parents, by elves, and yes… by me.
If you’re looking for a story that keeps the spirit shining from January through December, this is it. Elf Dust is a keepsake you’ll reach for again and again!

The Santastical World of Traveling Santa: A Journey to Christmas Treasures
Synopsis: Santa travels the world with his elves Laura, Rosette and Will on adventures learning about different cultures and Christmas customs, and life lessons along the way.
Santa's Review:
I just finished The Santastical World of Traveling Santa by Lara Simone, and I honestly feel like I’ve been sprinkled with holiday magic. I was transported into a whimsical, imaginative world where Santa isn’t just a man delivering gifts — he’s an adventurer, a storyteller, and a symbol of wonder that transcends borders.
What I loved most was how Lara weaves heartwarming stories of kindness and connection into Santa’s travels around the globe. The book is filled with charming details of Santa’s travel with his elves Laura, Rosette and Will, and the mystery surrounding Santa’s missing wooden chest filled with magical ornaments.
The illustrations are wonderful, adding even more charm to every page. A fun story for bedtime, classrooms, or a family tradition.
