Santa Talks!: the Life Story of Saint Nicholas Glenn Heald

The magic of Santa Claus has been raising questions in the minds of children around the world for centuries. In Santa Talks!, Glenn Heald relies on his research and personal experience playing Santa as he shares details of Saint Nicholas?s life and creatively answers the questions often asked by children while sitting on Santa?s lap.

Beginning with Nicholas?s early childhood when he happily lived with monks, Heald narrates the fascinating story of Santa?s coming-of-age journey through life. After sixteen-year-old Nicholas joins the order to serve the poor, the young bishop soon inherits a fortune from his parents, providing him with the capacity to help the less fortunate. As he throws bags of gold through the windows of children, it is not long before Nicholas encounters a locked window and decides to drop the bag through the chimney. And so begins Santa?s mission to bring happiness to boys and girls around the world.

Tailored for grandparents, parents, and children of all ages, Santa Talks! keeps Christ in Christmas while sharing the magical story of Saint Nicholas?s journey to becoming the most beloved holiday character of all time.
