So he quickly works out with what he has on hand, but by dint of building toys out of his clothes, he ends up in his underwear! Fortunately, the giraffe gives him back a disguise in which he can dress. A book that invites you to play with your own identity without fear of prejudice and to break down stereotypes with lightness and irony.

A story full of humor in which concepts such as "cunning fox" and "bad wolf" are easily demolished.

If we have already come to the question "does Santa Claus exist?" Then this is the book you were looking for! A long time ago, there were very few children in the world and Santa Claus could happily fulfill his mission of giving a gift to every boy or girl. But over time, the world's population increased dramatically, and so did the number of children. It had become too difficult for one Santa to deliver his gifts overnight. The reindeer needed rest and the sack of gifts became heavier and heavier. How do you think he made Santa Claus to fulfill this important task? A beautiful story that will help us keep the magic of Christmas alive.
