It’s Not Easy Being Santa Claus by Marilyn Sadler and Steph Laberis - ESSENTIAL

It’s Not Easy Being Santa Claus by Marilyn Sadler, illustrated by Steph Laberis. PICTURE BOOK. Random House, 2023. $11. 9780593702871

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL


AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH


Life is not going well at the North Pole, so Santa Claus sends everyone away for a vacation. Santa decides to try out new jobs to see if something else would be a better fit. Then he meets one young Santa fan that helps him see his job with refreshed eyes.


A hit in my heart! I agree with Santa - fewer vegetables, more cookies! You might not recognize Laberis, the illustrator by name, but type her name in the search bar and you will see many books we have reviewed that will be familiar and beloved.
