BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
A little boy is so excited for Santa to come on Christmas Eve, because Santa is his favorite part of Christmas. As an early gift his parents give him a camera and he tries really hard to stay up long enough to see the man himself.
I love that the little boy wishes so hard that Santa would look like him – and he does! The illustrations have a primitive feeling to them, which for does not enhance the story. But the happiness the boy has, and the importance of representation for a Black boy elevates the need for this book.
