Spotlight: Excerpt from Secret Santa Christmas Club by Jeff Janke

Author: Jeff Janke
Publisher:  Three Feral Cats
Publication Date: November 2021

 
Why do we spend so much time and effort creating a fairytale world for our children, just to take it away from them? Author Jeff Janke faced that dilemma three years ago when his daughter started questioning her belief in Santa Claus. Like most parents, he had two problems to solve--how to gently teach his child the true meaning of Christmas, and how to prevent her from spoiling the fairytale for other children. Out of this problem, Secret Santa Claus Club was born.
 
Secret Santa Claus Club is a beautifully illustrated story about a little girl thinking back on the magic of each Christmas. She remembers meeting Santa at the mall and seeing her first bike under the tree on Christmas morning. As time goes on, she starts to wonder if it's all real. When she decides she's ready to know the truth--her parents help guide her to the true meaning of the holiday.
 
Secret Santa Claus Club was written to be a tool for parents during these challenging moments. Combined with love, patience, and compassion, SSCC will help transition the reader from believing to becoming. At the end of the story, your child will be invited to join Secret Santa Claus Club. They'll understand the importance of keeping the secret, creating the magic for believers, and helping other members of the club.

Here is a sneak peek from the book:

“What is it you want most this year?”

Santa asked.

I whispered in his

ear, “I want to be your helper

for a day and deliver gifts to others.”

Santa replied, “In time, you’ll get that wish,

but for now I want you to continue

to be good to others, respect your

parents and keep believing in the magic!

What do you say, can you do that for me?”

I said proudly, with a big smile, “Yes Santa, I can do that!”

Author Bio:
 
Jeff Janke is a single dad who considers himself more of a problem solver than an author. When his daughter started questioning Santa, he wrote a book to help guide her from a world of believing in Santa to a community of truly becoming Santa. When his daughter wanted to invite other friends into the club (after they learned the secret), and after lots of encouragement from friends and family who have faced the same dilemma, he decided to publish Secret Santa Claus Club to help other parents and children too!
