Join one Black family on their journey to discover what the real Santa looks like in this joyous tale celebrating identity, family, and holiday cheer, from the New York Times best-selling author of Bedtime Bonnet.
It’s not Christmas without Santa! But what does Santa truly look like? Does he match the figurines on the mantel or the faces on our favorite holiday sweaters? Does he look like you or like me?
Find out in this joyous and cozy celebration of family, representation, and holiday spirit! Destined to be a new classic, and perfect for children looking to see some of themselves in Santa Claus.

The Real Santa by Nancy Redd
Drink: Hot Chocolate
Music: Jingle Bells by Gracie’s Corner Christmas Remix
Audiobook: Torian Brackett: Torian was an awesome narrator. He was super enthusiastic and the animation in his voiced truly brought the story to life along with the music. The audiobook is a must.
The Real Santa: If, “I knew it. I knew it,” was a book it would be The Real Santa. Self-representation is so important for kids. There’s nothing like being able to see yourself and those you love in books. This story was much appreciated.
The Real Santa was an adorable read. We enjoyed Nancy Redd’s take on waiting up for Santa. It was so heartwarming to see the little traditions through a child’s eyes. This story just gave us the warm and fuzzies from beginning to end. We’ll definitely be sharing this story with all of our families and friends. We highly recommend for all the young ones out there.
