Join us for a reading of Kevin Major’s classic story, The House of Wooden Santas and a visit to see all 24 Santas from the book. After the reading enjoy some family fun holiday crafts.

The House of Wooden Santas is a deeply felt story about belief in oneself and others, and the spirit of the Season. The book shares how the carvings of Imelda George led Kevin to write this Christmas classic, photographed by Ned Pratt.
