How do you celebrate Christmas?
Every family is unique, and sometimes parents' jobs or even an illness can mean that a family must open Santa's presents on a day other than Christmas. A Special Request, A Secret Delivery is a charming Christmas tale that provides groundbreaking representation for just this situation. In this exciting story, a child writes to Santa, informing him that the family cannot be together on Christmas Day, then sets an elf in the window as a reminder to deliver presents another time. Ultimately, the children of the home get to enjoy the welcome sight of presents and a joy-filled family gathering like everyone else--just on a different day!
Sure to become a new Christmas classic for the not-so-classic holiday circumstances, A Special Request, A Secret Delivery is the perfect book for families who appreciate Santa's flexible schedule. In the back of the book, children can complete a fun search-and-find activity with objects that represent some of the many professions that necessitate Santa's new schedule, from nurses and doctors to firefighters and delivery workers. Plus, download and print your own special color-by-number elf to set on the window each Christmas season!

Londa Shupe has been a nurse for over twenty years. She lives in her hometown of Minneapolis, Kansas, where she raised her four daughters with her husband of twenty-seven years. Londa has been thinking about the concept for this book since the first time she had to work during Christmas. Although she knew her job was important, it was always difficult to be away from her family for the holiday, especially since Londa LOVES Christmas and treasures sharing holiday traditions with her family. This inspired her to create a story meant to foster a new tradition for these special families to share--the tradition of setting out an elf to signal to Santa to bring presents on a night when the family can all be together. Londa's goal is to offer other families a way to celebrate the story of Santa Claus together even when they have to be apart on Christmas Day.
