I think it’s true when I say that we all want our children to be kind and giving. The process of helping children to understand that it is better to give than to receive can be tricky. After all who doesn’t like to receive a gift, right? However, by teaching your children the value of giving rather than receiving, you’re instilling in them a sense of pride and self-esteem; character traits worth developing that will last a lifetime! The holidays are a perfect opportunity to not only teach your children the importance of giving, but to put it into action. "A Bag for Santa" written by a local mom, Kendra Esbrook can help you do just that! Grab your copy and show your children the joy of giving!
How did you create the idea for your book?
I am a mother of two and wanted my kids to understand the joy of giving. When I saw all the personalized bags from Santa to the kids being sold, I asked my friend to make us one from the kids to Santa, and we started leaving old toys for him. I couldn’t believe no one else had written about it yet, so I did! I had an idea and ran with it!
What's the story?
Christmas is just around the corner. David and Will are busy making their list for Santa. Suddenly, a troublesome thought enters their minds: what if the Elves can’t make all the toys? The boys have a brilliant idea that will help Santa get toys to everyone when the Elves are behind.
What audience would be most interested in your book?
Anyone who believes in Christmas magic!
