When Santa Turned Green

When Santa Turned Green is one of the newer picture books in my 10 days of Christmas PB posts. This book, written by Victoria Perla, illustrated by Mirna Kantarevic was published by Thomas Nelson this past October.

Santa discovers global warming and rallies his troops (children of the world) to solve this environmental problem. The book offers a few suggestions oh how kids can go green. The book itself is green, printed with soy ink on 100% recycled paper.

When Santa Turned Green is an example of how a writer can combine a familiar subject with a current concern or issue to make something new.

That is a good idea for a book! I keep trying to show my kids how important it is to recycle, turn out lights, etc. Santa's advice would surely help!

I love this idea, though I admit, the clever title made me think of Santa being jealous. That's a totally different PB and it's hard to imagine Santa ever feeling jealous over anything. Who wouldn't want his job?

I am a children's writer living in Washington State. I enjoy reading and writing picture books, spending time with my family, and walking my adorable dogs in the park. Thanks for stopping by.
