Book One

Find 3 hidden things

The story

The presents have been delivered. The New Year has rung in. And the sleigh Reindeer are gone.

Santa doesn't panic. He pulls on his boots, gathers his best elves and a very old map, and sets off along a long, snowy trail, past the pines, under a sky full of stars.

The Superhero Santa series begins with a toddler bedtime reader for ages 1 to 3 — short lines, big pictures, made for cozy bedtimes all through the Christmas season. A full-edition picture book and a children's book are soon to follow.

One bright starEvery book ends where Christmas begins — with a family, and a bright star witnessing the birth of Jesus.

Made to read aloudShort lines, big pictures and a page-turn your toddler will want to do themselves.

The reason

Santa is the helper. Christmas has a hero.

In the Superhero Santa books, Santa is brave, kind and more than a little bit super — but he's not the point. Every adventure ends where Christmas begins: with a family, a star, and the birth of Jesus.

Made for parents who want the magic and the meaning in the same bedtime story.

The series

One North Pole. A whole shelf of stories.
