State & National Award-Winning Book
Loved for its traditional Christmas message The Story of Santa's Beard leads children into the magical world of Santa, as it transports adults back to a time when the magic was theirs.
Synopsis: There is a problem growing – literally growing – at the North Pole because children around the world are being good. Santa’s beard grows a little each time children share, play fair, do their best, tell the truth… Soon, because so many children are good every day, Santa’s beard gets so long he can hardly walk, or talk, and he can’t make the toys! But those clever little elves come up with a plan. In the end, all Santa has to do is choose the best kids from his “Good List” to receive a snippet of his long beard.
Children squeal with delight when they discover their very own snippet of Santa's beard, tied with red ribbon and included in the book. This book and the special gift will be treasured every Santa believing year and beyond.

Reviews
I really appreciate the lessons that Ms. Sharon is teaching to our future generations. Beautiful cover, beautiful illustrations, beautiful message.
My daughter loved this book growing up and now she has a daughter of her own and we can't wait to share it with her. It is a wonderful way to help build a foundation of values, faith, and love with the excitement of Santa.
For Christmas a few years ago I gave each of my three grandchildren a copy of Sharon's Santa book. The most glorious moment of our celebration was my youngest, only 6 at the time, sitting by the tree, and with the eldest's help reading the book to all of us! A beautiful memory that still brings me to joyful tears. Dell deBerardinis, Licensed Counselor, Author
Grand kids have already asked if Nana is going to read Santa's Beard again this year. Yes she will. Third year in a row. We sent the small one with the mailing envelope to our son in Germany for his kids.
