Santa's Husband: 02/01/20
Santa's Husband by Daniel Kibblesmith and A.P. Quach is a short picture book. I usually avoid stories about Santa, especially ones about his spouse. This time, though, I had to read it; I'd never seen one before where he had a husband! The first thing the book makes clear is that Santa is Black. The reason so many people make the mistake of thinking he's white is because his husband is a model. Santa's too busy in the workshop to make personal appearances. So that's where his spouse comes in. Mostly though this book is a celebration of a quiet, happy marriage. It's about all the mundane things they do together when it's not the run up to Christmas. It's an absolutely delightful story. Five stars Comments (0) |
