Dearest Readers and believers of all ages: With this story, I would like to take you on a fantastic and emotional journey. I hope you will also experience all those beautiful feelings that came over me as I was writing this book. This children's chapter book expands on two girls whose friendship forms when the two meet on a playground, and then blossoms as their single parents fall in love and get married. However, their faith and awareness of life are tested when the oldest girls is stricken with cancer, allowing the family to make long lasting memories before it is too late. This is not an ordinary fairy tale since it is also based on real life events, and mixed with uncertainty and the magic of the unknown. We should all learn from an early age the importance of such things as love, happiness, gratitude and strong family bonds, and I try to show the importance of all of this throughout the book. The book is divided into 16 chapters making each one of the perfect for reading as an individual bedtime story. Additionally, each chapter contains a fundamental moral to learn from, and most episodes have one of my favorite bedtime prayers that you can enjoy before going to sleep. So, won't you please join me in this heartwarming story about one of my elves, and her beautiful family. They will make you laugh, and they will make you cry, but most of all, I hope, they will make you all feel good inside. By the end of the story, as the mystery of where elves come from is revealed, I hope that you will also believe in the power of a little magic! Warmest wishes, SANTA
Engel, Edit: - Engel, Edit I was born in Hungary, and I have been in the US for over 20 years now. The fact that I come from a single parent family, and the way that my mother has always made everything in her capacity to encourage me to go after my dreams, was instrumental in my life. I was very lucky to have had all this loving attention, and a mother and grandparents that took the time to make reading fairy tales and other books a priority. Thanks to them I still have a great love for reading, and now for writing as well. I grew up on Hans Christian Andersen and Grimm Brother's fairy tales. Those fairy tales not only made me use my imaginations and had interesting stories, but I also feel that they had good teaching moments and morals. I believe that we need more books with beautiful, quality and positive thinking, so I decided to write one! A significant part of this book also comes from a meaningful life experience that I still carry with me from when I was working with kids in a cancer hospital. I learned that these children have such an extraordinary love for life. They live life to the fullest. They love everything and everybody that comes along in their life unconditionally, and always try to remain happy! These are just a few of the reasons I wanted to include them in the book. They have always been in my heart for so many years now, that I feel they deserve to become a legend in their own right! Also important for me is Christmas as it is my favorite holiday. There is something so magical about Christmas, everybody is nicer and there is just more gratitude going around the whole world. One day after putting all these things together, what is closest to my heart and is always on my mind, I just started to write, and now here we are. With this story, I would like to take you on a fantastic and emotional journey. As though written by Santa himself, I hope you will also experience all those beautiful feelings that came over me as I was writing this book. Sincerely, Edit

Santa: - Claus, Santa Santa was born a long, long time ago, really nobody knows how long ago. He was born in the North Pole, and he never left. But one night a year he travels North to South and East to West, And then back to home, where it's always the best. His father's name is Father Christmas, and he is the one who brought us Christmas. Like all beautiful Christmas trees are green, the robe he is wearing is also green. His Mother's name is Mother Snow; She is the one, who dresses the winter in a beautiful big blanket of snow. Santa has a big heart, and he gives to everybody all that he can. He leaves us all the presents we like because he knows us all so well. Once morning arrives, it takes us no time to unwrap all our gifts very fast. But I'm sure you are all familiar with this story from your years past. Of course, Santa went to school like every one of you. You can probably easily guess what his favorite subject was. It was geography in which he excelled and did so well. He knows all the countries on the map, without the use of Google map. Santa also has a sweet tooth, That is why he cannot say no to your goody, especially your Christmas cookie. But when you see him, don't you dare call him jelly-belly, Just because of his big belly! Santa likes every animal, and every little creature he can talk to. Perhaps that is why some of you believe that your precious pets went to the North Pole. And magically became an elf after they passed, but deep down you all know it is not true! So how can your beloved pets end up in the North Pole? It is a funny story, let me tell you: Heaven and the North Pole are ever so close, and that is how Santa can quickly go through. While he is crunching on his cookies, big sweet crumbs are falling to the floor. That is how your beloved pets can find their way from Heaven to the North Pole. And of course, Santa can't say no to them, he is always happy to see them. Now there is only one secret left to tell, and that is, who are those little elves. Where do they come from, and where do they go?
