Letters from the North Pole by Annie Atkins (illustrated by Fia Tobing) is an enchanting Christmas-book that brings the wonder of Santa’s world right into your living room. Five children from around the globe each write to Santa with special gift wishes—and are thrilled to receive real responses! What makes this book extra special: you can pull out Santa’s letters, complete with charming blueprints made by his elves, nostalgic stamps, and letterheads designed in Annie Atkins’s signature vintage style. Throughout the book, you’ll uncover secrets of the North Pole—how reindeer manage to sleep standing up, what snacks Santa most enjoys, and how he delivers billions of gifts in one night.
