The Great Mrs. Claus

Chris Shoemaker

The Great Mrs. Claus is told by Sparky, Santa's senior elf, and his favorite nephew and niece, Rassle and Klee-Klee. Their surprising bedtime demonstration prompts their doting Uncle Sparky to share a seldom-told poem. It details how Santa first met Mrs. Claus and fell (literally!) in love with her.
At heart, The Great Mrs. Claus, is a coming of age story that proves were never too old to show our true affections for one another. It features Mrs. Claus - an often overlooked but smart and fiercely independent-minded woman with an enormous sense of humor!
The Great Mrs. Claus reminds us to value our loved ones and practice those daily family rituals that make life special.
