Editorial Reviews

Review Quotes

The book is such an emotional tale... you go from happy to be excited to sad and hopeful. In the midst of it all, that's exactly how life and reading this with the kids was a great teaching experience. The notes at the end of each chapter are a summary of the moral and life lesson in each chapter which is presented in an easy-to-understand way for kids to enjoy and even relate to.

The best part of this book for me is that it is both fun and highly educational.

The balance between teaching and fun is a testament to the writing ability of the author.
I would gladly recommend this book to the family to add to their reading list because it goes way beyond the price. The illustrations are so beautiful and relatable. Santa notes are also fun to read and make excellent conversation starters with kids to help them understand difficult concepts. - Ava M.

I had never found a book that was totally enlightened in my youth and wanted to attempt to bring my young son up knowing that books are still important. I enjoyed the 'Where Elves Come From' but more so as knowing my son enjoyed it as well. It's a rare find to be able to read for children and also as an adult you both enjoy the story. What I liked the most about this book is that even though I was reading to both my son and me, it was intriguing and captured his imagination and for me it gave me a sense of gratitude, the story really brings to life some of the challenges we face but written so you can appreciate the realities and also touched on subjects in a way that explained them perfectly to a young child which I myself would not know where to start. - Chris

When I first read the introduction, I immediately knew that I was going to love the book. It reminded me of my favorite book as a young adult, "The Christmas Doll". This book is something that will tug at your heart and teach moral lessons to both young and old readers. It's special in a way that Santa leaves a certain message in each chapter that can be taught and discussed, especially if you are reading it for children.

I would recommend this to parents and grandparents who are looking for the perfect Christmas gift to their kids, teachers, and those who love a good Christmas tale. - Dawn

This is a book that will boost morals for both young and old readers and it will touch your heart deep down.-Osas A.


Alan is an award-winning author. He writes children books, inspirational books, and fiction books. He was born in Canada and now lives in Florida with Edit Engel, and together they write books. Before writing books, he was very successful in starting businesses and assisting other companies to be successful. He learned how important it is to have dreams and then to set goals towards making those dreams a reality. He also learned that success starts from the inside out and that filling oneself with positive messages and reading inspirational books is one way of feeding yourself for successful outcomes. The fact that he comes from a single parent family and the way that his father has always made everything in his capacity to encourage him to go after his dreams was instrumental in his life. He was very lucky to have had all this loving attention, and grandparents that took the time to make reading fairy tales and other books a priority. Thanks to them he still has a great love for reading, and now for writing as well. "With this story, we would like to take you on a fantastic and emotional journey. As though written by Santa himself, we hope you will also experience all those beautiful feelings that came over us as we were writing this book."
