The Christmas Magic

Watch the video trailer for The Christmas Magic.

Far, far North, when the nights are longest and the stars shine brightest, the spirit of Christmas fills the air with Magic. Santa gathers his reindeer, feeds them parsnips and berries, and polishes his bells and his sled. Then with great care, he chooses toys for every child in the world. For Santa loves them all dearly — and he knows what each one desires more than anything.

* "Muth's idyllic, wintry watercolors and pastels set the mood as 'the night begins to thrum with magic, the kind of magic that makes reindeer fly.' Readers, like Santa, will feel the magic, too." — Publishlers Weekly, starred review

"It's the air of magic and mystery, which prevails in both text and art,  that will capture children's interest and allow them to accept a Santa that is not the norm. " — Booklist

"Thompson’s quiet text captures the story"s breath-held hush of anticipation leading to The Christmas Magic: 'It has come at last, as it always has, and always will.' Muth's tranquil watercolor and pastel illustrations displaying the snowy, remote setting subtly incorporate familiar Christmas symbols and motifs. A perfect way to settle overexcited young ones for Christmas Eve bedtime." — Horn Book
