Santa's Year

Rik Peters is a Dutch author. No matter who you are and no matter what’s going on in the outside world, his stories offer a space that’s open for everyone. Filled with remarkable characters and unpredictable situations, there’s always something unusual going on – but readers know that they’re secure and welcome. Even if it’s just for the duration of a story, his books are a place of safety.Federico Van Lunter is a Belgian illustrator. There’s beauty everywhere. Art, friends, and family: he always tries to surround himself with things that make him smile and people that make him love. And this constant lust for joy and happiness also shines through in his illustrations. Whether it’s in bright colors or in dark details, in still lines, or in lively typography: he hopes his work encourages people to open up. To experiences, to others, to themselves. Because there’s beauty everywhere.

"An additional purchase for libraries wishing to add to their look-and-find and holiday collections." - School Library Journal"Santa’s year by Rik Peters is an adorable search and find with endearing illustrations and witty dialogue. The story leads readers through a typical year in Santa’s life and the different rooms in Santa’s home. Unlike other search and finds the difficulty to find each image rotates per page, allowing even the adults to pause and really look through the whimsical illustrations. As a Librarian who grew up with the Eye Spy series, I have a passion for activity books that allow children of all reading levels and abilities to spend time with a book. Love of reading comes from more then the actual words, the story and illustrations can inspire a lifelong love of books. I did not see a answer page at the end, but enjoyed the hunt and the other hidden surprises on each page. A terrific and fun read will be a hit among all the children and adults this holiday season. Thank you for offering this book as a Read Now option, I will be suggesting this title to my library!" - Cobourg Public Library"This book will definitely be a new family favorite around the holidays and year round. It is engaging with find and seek games throughout and tells the cutest story of what Santa is doing the other 364 days of the year. From taking driving his fancy red race car, to eating healthy since he splurges on so many sweets for Christmas, and of course how he manages the naughty and nice list. The illustrations are adorable throughout and grabs the attention of young readers. Overall this book is fun for the whole family." - Blessed and Blooming Schoolhouse
