A creative holiday story that introduces kids to environmental awareness with ways that they can make a big difference. It's November up in the North Pole. Everything's going along smoothly at Santa's workshop until he discovers a leak in his roof. Santa soon learns that this little leak is connected to a far bigger problem. The North Pole is melting because of something called global warming Faced with the reality of what this could mean for Christmas, not to mention the planet and the future, Santa is determined to turn things around. To do so, he calls upon the people he knows better than any other-the children. Much to Santa's joy, they respond in a way that makes all the difference . . . in the world. "When Santa Turned Green helps even the youngest child grasp the importance of caring for our planet and solving the climate crisis." Former Vice President Al Gore
What a FANTASTIC way to teach kids about Global Warming! Great pics - especially the page with all Santa's suits hanging in the closet - a ton of green ones and 1 red one. Terrific tips for conserving energy and helping the planet. We loaned ours around the neighbourhood and had kids write their comments in the cover.

Our 3'rd grade son loves this book, especially with the hand puppet. It is one of a very few that he willingly reads aloud. The story provides an environmental twist to a familiar story.

I purchased this book three weeks ago for my two older grandchildren - ages 5 and 3. After reading it, I re-ordered it for my 2 year old grandson and another copy for a friend's pre school children. I am a retired pre school teacher ( with a degree in literature) and was in charge of the school library selections. This book is on target with the current global situation - a great way to get children involved in their future. I showed the book to several of my teacher friends and they were impressed.
