Grandmas are wise beyond their years and often give us memories to cherish for the rest of our lives. Helping Santa: My First Christmas Adventure With Grandma is the story of one of those enchanting moments.
Told there is no Santa by his older sister, the narrator recalls rushing off to consult with his Grandma who, he was sure, “would be straight with him.” After roundly and immediately declaring the idea that Santa might not exist to be wholly and absolutely “ridiculous”, she challenges him to become one of Santa’s helpers, and suggests he buy and deliver a gift to someone who really needs it. Thus he learns, as the adventure unfolds, the true meaning of Christmas and what Santa Claus is really all about.
Their adventure, in which a gift is found, a needy recipient located and the good deed accomplished by our hero and his Grandma, is brought to life by Bert Dodson‘s wonderful watercolors capturing all the charm and warmth that the story holds
This popular and for many now a traditional Christmas story exists on the internet and has no author that can be traced to date.
However, not knowing who first told this tale does not lessen the message, which fully encompasses the spirit of Christmas and reassures us that we never have to stop believing in Santa Claus. In the spirit of this belief, we have chosen to contribute to a nationwide organization whose mission is that everyone who needs a warm coat can get one in his or her hometown, easily, free of charge. We will be giving a percentage of the monies earned from the sale of this book to One Warm Coat to support their work.

Helping Santa: My First Christmas Adventure with Grandama Reviews
-
A great story for anytime (including Christmas of course!) about thinking about and giving to people in need. A second grader has been told there is no Santa so he rides his bike to Grandma's to talk it over with her. She gives him money to buy "something for someone who needs it." They wrap it and deliver it in secret, making him one of Santa's elves. A good-hearted story set in the early to mid 1900s, that will make a good introduction to giving.
