A young girl, convinced that Santa Claus has moved in next door, befriends him as he helps the neighborhood with his handyman skills, so when he falls ill, the community comes together to care for him, hoping he'll recover in time for Christmas Eve.
This charming Christmas story for children ages 3-7 explores the magic, wonder, and sense of community that are especially present during the holiday season.
When the young narrator announces that Santa Claus has moved in next door, Mom, Dad, and big sister Liv are less than convinced. But it doesn't matter; the narrator is convinced. And the more she gets to know her new neighbor, the more certain she is that he is indeed Santa Claus (but she can't figure out where his reindeer are).
It soon turns out that Santa Claus is very skilled at fixing things, and through his handyman kindness, he quickly becomes a good friend and neighbor to all who live on the street. So when he gets sick, the young narrator is quick to round up everyone in the community, who are all more than happy to help. But will Santa Claus be well in time for Christmas Eve?
