The Blacksmith's Gift, An Orphan's Promise, and A Carpenter's Legacy elegantly retell the Santa Claus stories - re-imagining them in a more realistic world, while preserving belief, joy and wonder for younger children. These books can be read independently as bedtime stories or as a series; all examine Santa, the Christmas holiday, and how we create hope, success and meaning. The Blacksmith's Gift places Santa as a Norwegian carpenter around 1900. He's a friend to all the village's children, but quietly builds toys only for his own imagined child. When asked to build a dollhouse for the blacksmith's daughter, he discovers his life's purpose. For children of all ages who question the fantasy stories, but still believe in Christmas miracles.
