Santa Claus and the Christmas Surprise

Santa Claus and the Christmas Surprise

Christmas is coming but Anna and Michael’s village is cut off by deep snow. They’re worried that Santa Claus won’t reach them, so they send him a special wish.

Santa Claus hears their wish and brings the village a surprise. Can the neighbors work together to reach their Christmas gift?

A beautifully illustrated festive story about hope and community spirit, with a dash of traditional seasonal magic from much-loved illustrations of Maja Dusíková.
