I'm going through a ton of Christmas books right now and this one is super cute! A story of a little girl's search for answers to the age old question: is there a Santa Claus? It has a diverse cast, beautiful illustration's, and a fun story with a bit of Christmas magic.Deja starts to get nervous when the kids around her begin saying that there is no Santa Claus. She asks the adults around her questions like how can Santa live in the North Pole when it's so cold? Where does Santa park his sleigh...
A beautifully illustrated book about a little girl who is doubting the existence of Santa thanks to classmates. So family and neighbors alike do their best to answer her many questions about Santa's existence and offer reasonable explanations.
This was so cute!! Is there anything Tiffany can’t do? Clearly not.
Cute story! Love the message and the illustrations.
Black Santa! And he's got all the answers.
We are in the midst of a huge pause. The winter solstice 2021 was observed on December 21, 2021. Today, December 26, 2021 marks five more days before the new calendar year begins. Some seasonal holidays have been celebrated; preparations for others are still being made. It is as if everything and everyone are holding their collective breaths, waiting for what comes next.Every year there are children around the world who wonder if Santa Claus will be able to find them. They know the stories about...
Santa in the City by Tiffany D. Jackson is a sweet Christmas holiday book. In the days leading up to Christmas, Deja, a young girl from Brooklyn, begins to question the myth of Santa. Her family and other adults in her life keep the magic of Santa alive after she begins to have doubts.I simply adored the illustrations: cartoony, they look like a storyboard for a new children's holiday TV show. There are some Easter eggs (Christmas presents?) put in by the illustrator which made me happy.
I received an electronic ARC from Dial Books through Edelweiss+.Deja has many questions about Santa after hearing that her friends don't believe in him. She asks her mom a wide variety of them as they move through their day. Mom shows patience and a good deal of thought in her answers. Great book for families with children who are starting to ask their own questions. The thoughtful answers provided by Jackson are terrific discussion starters or worthwhile answers for complex questions. The illus...
Definitely pick this one up! I thought this was a great story as it answers many of those tough questions about Santa that children ask. How does Santa get inside my house, if I don’t have a chimney? The North Pole is so cold, how can Santa live there? How can Santa be at the mall, at the animal shelter and be at the mall across town all in one day? I thought this was a fun, adorable book about Deja who is concerned about Santa’s visit. Deja is at that age where some of her friends don’t believe...
Ohhhh I love Christmas stories and this one is really sweet. Beautifully narrated by Keylor Leigh, it tells the story of an inquisitive little girl named Deja who is on a mission to find out if Santa is real and if so, how can he possibly bring her presents when her apartment doesn't have a chimney? A short but sweet book that can be listened to again and again.
Very cute. The illustrations are well done and the characters are diverse.
When I heard that Tiffany D. Jackson would be releasing Santa In The City I had to get my hands on a copy. I was in for treat! With the addition of Reggie Brown’s illustrations, I’d say that this ode to a Christmas tale is a slam dunk. Deja is a curious and inquisitive little girl who has come to have a ton of questions leading into the weeks before Christmas. It doesn’t help that some kids at school do not believe in Santa as she does. Deja lives in the city in an apartment and is mostly concer...
Two weeks before Christmas, city girl Deja is getting really excited, but some kids don't think Santa exists. After all, they ask, how does Santa deliver gifts for kids who live in apartments and don't have a chimney? Or live up in the cold, cold North Pole. Luckily, Deja's mom has some answers for her. Christmas is magical, and magic always finds a way. Santa has a magical keychain that lets him in each and every apartment after parking on the roof. But each answer her mother has leads to anoth...
A little girl’s belief in Santa is restored in this picture book releasing 10.5.🎅🏿Deja loves Christmas more than anything. She counts down the days all year. Until one day her friends start telling her Santa isn’t real. This prompts Deja to do some thinking and investigating of her own, asking adults all the questions her friends asked and more. But come Christmas morning Deja wakes up to one special surprise.🎅🏿I don’t normally review picture books, but I’ll read anything by the amazing Tiffany
Deja has lots of questions and doubts about how Santa gets to their house since they live in the city and don’t have a chimney. I don’t entirely know how I feel about this book. On the one hand, I love that it gives kids who don’t have a single family house in the suburbs with a fireplace a way to not feel left out from the story of Santa. I also love that it’s a Santa narrative that doesn’t center whiteness. However, I have always struggled with spinning the Santa story to kids in the form of l...
3.5 rounded up to 4Deja has a lot of questions about Santa and how he can come and find her in the city and her mom works to answer all of these. The repetition of one of her comments "Makes sense" would make it fun for kids to help read as well. A wonderful addition to a holiday book selection. Absolutely love the illustrations!
