Celebrate a child's first experience meeting a Black Santa Claus!

Christmas is just around the corner, and Khalil can't wait to celebrate with his favorite traditions. He's excited to search for the perfect tree, dance to festive jingles, and, of course, meet Santa. But after a classmate says his drawing of Santa isn't quite right, Khalil is left with one important question:

Is there a Santa like me?

With inspiring text from Tonya Abari and warm illustrations from Raissa Figueroa, this story pairs holiday joy with the power of representation.
