When it comes to the biggest toy drop of the year, Santa gets most of the credit -- but he could hardly do it alone! In "The Santa Switch," written by Laura Lee Scott and illustrated by Cheryl Crouthamel, Mrs. Claus finally becomes the fabulous tour-de-force she's always meant to be. This modern version of Mrs. C. believes in equality, compassion, and continuing education. She loves her good-natured, big-hearted husband, and they share the same vision -- but she's definitely the "doer" to his "dreamer." And, while Jessica Claus is CEO (Chief Elf Optimizer) of the world's most successful toy factory, she also loves to kick off her shoes and bake up a storm, spreading holiday joy to anyone willing to believe that Christmas is truly the most magical time of year. "The Santa Switch's" positive, gender-empowering message, lovable spin on legendary characters, and eye-catching illustrations are sure to warm hearts and tickle funny bones of the young and the young-at-heart -- making it a treasured read for all at Christmastime.
