Book Description
Children love Christmas and children love coloring books. But at a certain age, they also begin to question the truth of Santa Claus, his flying reindeer, and his overnight, world-wide, toy-delivering abilities. Not quite ready to give up the magic of Christmas and not quite able to still believe, parents are faced with the task of revealing the truth of Santa and the real meaning of Christmas. And that's where THE SECRET OF THE SANTA BOX COLORING BOOK comes in. Whether used as a supplement for THE SECRET OF THE SANTA BOX picture book or on its own, the coloring book is a delightful tool for parents to use to explain that the magic of Christmas is in each one of us--a gift from our Savior that is "a love that's more precious than silver or gold." The poem that weaves its way through the coloring book and picture book is by Christopher Fenoglio and illustrated by Elena Makansi. A delightful story written in the same lyrical style as 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, the poem will help parents navigate this difficult time in a fun and loving way, and is a natural transition for children who have outgrown the "Elf on a Shelf" and are ready to move forward to the real meaning of Christmas.

Book Description
An inspiring account of America at its worst-and Americans at their best-woven from the stories of Depression-era families who were helped by gifts from the author's generous and secretive grandfather. Shortly before Christmas 1933 in Depression-scarred Canton, Ohio, a small newspaper ad offered $10, no strings attached, to 75 families in distress. Interested readers were asked to submit letters describing their hardships to a benefactor calling himself Mr. B. Virdot. The author's grandfather Sam Stone was inspired to place this ad and assist his fellow Cantonians as they prepared for the cruelest Christmas most of them would ever witness. Moved by the tales of suffering and expressions of hope contained in the letters, which he discovered in a suitcase 75 years later, Ted Gup initially set out to unveil the lives behind them, searching for records and relatives all over the country who could help him flesh out the family sagas hinted at in those letters. From these sources, Gup has re-created the impact that Mr B. Virdot's gift had on each family. Many people yearned for bread, coal, or other necessities, but many others received money from B. Virdot for more fanciful items-a toy horse, say, or a set of encyclopedias. As Gup's investigations revealed, all these things had the power to turn people's lives around- even to save them. But as he uncovered the suffering and triumphs of dozens of strangers, Gup also learned that Sam Stone was far more complex than the lovable- retiree persona he'd always shown his grandson. Gup unearths deeply buried details about Sam's life-from his impoverished, abusive upbringing to felonious efforts to hide his immigrant origins from U.S. officials-that help explain why he felt such a strong affinity to strangers in need. Drawing on his unique find and his award-winning reportorial gifts, Ted Gup solves a singular family mystery even while he pulls away the veil of eight decades that separate us from the hardships that united America during the Depression. In A Secret Gift, he weaves these revelations seamlessly into a tapestry of Depression-era America, which will fascinate and inspire in equal measure. Watch a Video

When he finally opens the gifts on Christmas morning, he is disappointed. Inside the boxes are only paper and a box of crayons. Unhappy, Steven runs to his bedroom. Even so, he feels bad for his grandmother and decides to draw her a picture for Christmas. But when the picture comes alive before his eyes, Steven can hardly believe his luck.
