Saint Nick loved and cared for the least fortunate and most vulnerable, just like Jesus! The Saint Nick Story reminds children that the love of God transcends lists of naughty and nice. With rhythmic prose and vivid illustrations, this book will entertain, teach, and encourage children to be like Christ, and will help you create new holiday traditions to celebrate with your child. Navigating fables alongside the truth can be tricky. The Saint Nick Story provides a way to reclaim longstanding Santa traditions while reinforcing that Christmas is about God's great Gift of Love. There is much we can learn about God's love by witnessing his work in those who have followed Jesus before us. The Bible tells us of the Light of the World giving up heaven for a dirty stable in order that he might bring us peace, show us love, and offer us hope. The Saint Nick Story demonstrates what it looks like when we follow the example of Jesus in our care for our neighbor, and encourage them to rejoice in giving.

Dexter is ready for kindergarten. Sort of. Well, actually, he's maybe kind of a little bit scared, perhaps even terrified, one might say. Because what if he gets lost? Or, what if the teacher is mean? Or, he misses his mom or dad? Or, worst of all, he loses his most important ally, Rufus? With the same warmth, exuberance, and sly wit that have made her a favorite of booksellers and children, Katie Davis tackles a problem every kid--and parent--has to face sooner or later: first-day fears. And she shows that it's okay to be scared, but that, as Dexter's older sister Jessie says, "Kindergarten rocks!"
