My First Saint Nicholas Book by Amanda Lauer (Paraclete Press)
Saint Nicholas was a young man who grew up in a wealthy home but spent his life secretly giving gifts to the poor and those in need. This season, celebrate Saint Nicholas’ Feast Day (Dec. 6) and share the true meaning of Christmas while snuggling up with little ones and imagining the joy of helping others by giving gifts to loved ones near and far.
This brightly illustrated, sturdy board book about the faith-based origin of St. Nicholas is the perfect way to introduce young children to one of the most celebrated saints in history and to gently convey the real story behind the modern-day Santa Claus.
