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

      No, Santa has not turned green from jealousy. He 's just become a part of the environmental movement to combat global warming. In November, Santa discovers a leak in his roof caused by melting snow, which causes him to investigate climate conditions at the North Pole. After seeing the damage to the polar ice cap for himself, Santa decides to take action by asking children for their help. The kids in the story make small changes in their lives to help reduce global warming, and Santa makes changes too. He starts using wind and solar power for his toy factory and wearing green-colored suits (except on Christmas Eve) to draw attention to the green movement. An introductory author 's note explains the reasons for writing the story (to explain global warming in a non-frightening way) and details the environmentally friendly materials and processes used in the production of the volume. While this isn 't strictly a Christmas story, environmental issues are important at any time of year, and this effort presents an entertaining introduction to the subject for younger children. (Picture book. 5-8)
