Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Around the world Santa Claus has many names. But in a deep, swampy bayou of Louisiana, he's known as Papa Noël. In such a hot and humid place, there can be no sleds or reindeer, so Papa Noël rides the river in a boat that's pulled by eight alligators, with a snowy white one named Nicollette in the lead. On this particular Christmas Eve, it's so foggy on the river that even Nicollette's magical glowing-green eyes may not be enough to guide Papa Noël. The alligators are tired, grumpy and bruised from banging into cypress trees, and Papa is desperate to get all the gifts to the little children. Well, "quicker than a snake shimmies down the river," the clever Cajun people come up with a solution that saves the day. A colorfully inventive Christmas tale, Papa Noël is a lesson in fast thinking, as well as a witty introduction to a part of America that's rich in folklore and legend.

Book excerpt: Three tales of true Christmas spirit come alive in the hands of award-winning children's author Helen Haidle. Legend of the Candy Cane opens with the lonely candy maker seeking the truth in the Christmas season. As he finds warmth in the laughter and bustle of the village children, a thought occurs: What can he give to show love for those in need? Unexpected inspiration leads to a sweet and meaningful answer. Legend of the Christmas tree recounts the tale of a small, scruffy fir tree with a big heart for helping others. A Special Baby is coming to the nearby village, and the forest is abuzz, but what gift could a small tree give? If the other trees have their way, he won't even get to see the Baby--unless, of course, he's had a gift all along. Catch a glimpse of a real saint in Legend of Saint Nicholas. Wealthy but orphaned at the age of 12, Nicholas lives with his extended family. As his heart turns to giving and charity, his family just doesn't understand. But God calls him to a higher mission, even beyond giving at Christmas time. How long can he keep his giving a secret, and will his family ever understand?
