Gold-award winner of the children's picture book non-fiction at the 2024 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, the largest international awards program for independent authors and publishers.

The Santa Book is a two-time Independent Publisher Book Awards winner, taking the top spot for best holiday title, as well as best cover design in 2024.

Of thousands of books, only two are awarded the IRDA each year. The Santa Book: A True Story took the grand prize for the entire non-fiction category – the first of its genre to win in the history of the awards.

"The Santa Book addresses the truth about Santa in a way that respects the curiosity and intelligence of children. In an immersive, shared experience between parent and child, "The Santa Book" guides both through the challenging transition from one side of the Santa tradition to the other, allowing both to discover magic on the other side."

Up against thousands of big-publisher titles, The Santa Book is the first-ever independent/small press publisher to win the Future Classics Award.

"The gentle narration manages to maintain a sense of magic around a concept of Santa that focuses on collective kindness, which ameliorates the ultimate reveal. A surprising book about the existence of Santa that emphasizes cooperation."

“In a sea of holiday books that tread the same, well-worn paths, The Santa Book's innovative approach to the Santa Claus mythos is nothing short of groundbreaking—blending emotional depth with intellectual engagement."

“The promise to 'not only experience the magic of Christmas, but now have the power to create it' is marvelous, making this timeless story deserving of a spot on the Christmas bookshelf.”
