This was a short, illustrated story that helps answer the question that parents hate to hear from their children “Is there really a Santa Claus?” I like how the author took a different approach to answering this question and decided to teach kids to keep the dream alive. I think this is a great way to make the kids aware that Santa will always be in your heart if you just believe. I loved how the author managed to use a relic not Christmas related as a symbol of believing. This could be a great way of continuing to help keep the memories of Christmas alive in all of us. I thought that the illustrations were quite beautiful. I loved that they were simple yet helped tell the story. This is a highly recommended book for young children, especially those starting to question Santa.

My children are now grown old enough to understand that there is no Santa, but there was a point of time when they did come and ask, ”Mom, is there really a Santa?”. This book helps us answer the question with a lovely story, which Lucas’s mom tells him when he asks her the same question. The spirit of Christmas is explained so well to keep the notion of Santa alive in the minds of the young and old alike. A beautiful book and a must read for all children who have come of age to understand that Santa Claus is magical and not real.

Lucas is a young boy who is growing up quickly and as another Christmas arrives, he is excited that Santa will be coming again this year, but this excitement is dampened by his friends at school who tell him that “Only babies believe in Santa!” So when he gets home, he asks his Mom whether Santa really exists, this is where he is offered the chance to be a Dream Keeper and be a part of a big secret.
This is an illustrated tale of the part of growing up where things once strongly believed in, become things which children want to believe in, but feel like they can’t anymore because of their age, but does it also hold the key to something more? This a short and heartwarming story for all ages which keeps the magic of Christmas alive.

Oh my! What a wonderful Christmas story. My oldest is out of the believing in Santa stage, and my 2 younger ones still believe in Santa. I haven’t read it to them for this reason. But now I have the perfect story to read to them when they get to the questioning stage. This book did such a great job answering, “Is Santa real?” while still keeping the magic alive. I’d like my kids to believe as long as possible, but also can’t wait to share this with them.

I loved this book. Lucas is having the same dilemma as every child who celebrates Christmas, is Santa real? This entire story, illustrations included, provide the perfect answer to children wondering this exact same question. Lucas learns thanks to his mother that he is the newest Dream Keeper for the next generation. This could be the next classic book to read to your in-between kids at Christmas time.

I have to say this is a good book for kids. It gives them a way to enjoy Christmas but understand more. I know for myself trying to explain Christmas and Santa to a child that’s coming of an age where they realize what it is, it’s hard. I really liked this book and I wish it was around when my kids were young. Give it a read you’ll see, it’s great !

This was a really sweet story! I wasn’t sure what I was expecting, something a little different, but this was very sweet to read! I wanted to read it to my one year old daughter but this is a little too much for her understanding right now. I would say this could be a good story to read to maybe 4-6 year olds. I plan to read this to my daughter when she gets older. It has a great premise and the illustrations are beautiful. I think kids would really enjoy having this book read to them!

This was an adorable book about the true meaning of Christmas and how important it is to keep the spirit of Santa alive no matter your age. I couldn’t read this one to my little because at 5 years old, he still completely believes in Santa Claus and I will give him zero reasons to doubt. I worry for when the time comes that someone at school or in everyday life will ruin the magic for him, but this book gave me a great idea of what to do when that time comes. I will keep it and continue to pass it on to other parents I know who will be struggling with the same thing. I highly recommend it for any parent or teacher who has children around the age that begins to question what they’ve been told. It will help renew the spirit and keep the magic alive.

What a cute book for kiddos at that age where they start to question the magic of Santa.
I read this first and decided to hold off on reading to my daughter as she isnt quite there yet.
A gentle way to explain and the illustrations were so beautiful!

This was a wonderful story, I feel every should should read this sweet story. Is there really Santa Clause? It is something most wonder about and will question through out their minds no matter what age. This story was very well done and gave all those tender moments of emotions. It was a story that taught me as I still am to this day, believing is seeing. if you believe in something it very much is real. Sometimes the idea of hope and our beliefs are what we have every day to get through. I loved the story and how the image of Santa was portrayed. It was beautiful, and jolly all in one, a book all children should all get to enjoy! The warmth I felt from reading was wonderful, this book made me smile. I was quite happy to partake in this story. The author made the story and memory of Santa come back to life for me, and for me that is truly touching. Enjoyed this read! I do recommend it, its something we all need to read! 🙂
