There’s trouble at the North Pole! After five hundred years of snow, ice and polar bears, Mrs. Claus is ready for a change. But dear old Santa is pretty set in his ways. She may have to take drastic measures. Aloha Santa gives a merry new spin on the beloved Christmas characters with a fun verse and bright, charming illustrations.
Ho! Ho! Ho! and Mele Kalikimaka! It’s the time of year to share one of my favorite books, ALOHA SANTA. The book reminds me of the years I sang with the Na Leo Lani Chorus of Sweet Adelines in Honolulu. What a wonderful time we had spreading the Spirit of Aloha across Oahu. Aloha Santa began as a performance verse I created for a Christmas show. After hearing it, chorus members encouraged me to turn it into a children’s book.
Thanks to the wonderful artist, Jaana Baker, the story came alive through her illustrations. Aloha Santa is a read-aloud family tradition for many families. Perhaps you can make it one of yours!
