Just Because You Are You - Paperback

by Kim Takacs (Author), Kim Takacs (Illustrator)

"Just remember this Christmas, and all the year through: You're loved just as you are, just because you are YOU."

Celebrate the magic of Christmas with a fresh, compassionate, and heartwarming take on Santa and his elves!

In this enchanting holiday tale, one of Santa's elves shares his own perspective on his role with delightful, whimsical rhymes and bright illustrations. With warmth and humor, the Elf sets the record straight about the true purpose of his visits.

Gone are the outdated notions of judgment, naughty lists, and lumps of coal. Instead, the Elf delivers a message of acceptance and unconditional love and declares his unwavering belief in the goodness of all children. He reveals that elves come to homes, not to catch kids being bad, but to learn about the special gifts of each child in order to create Christmas cheer as unique as they are.

Filled with heart and hope, this beautifully told and illustrated book will inspire compassion and bring lasting Christmas cheer to your holiday traditions.
