A Santa who looks like Khalil

Khalil’s Christmas traditions include finding a tree, dancing to holiday music, and meeting Santa. When a classmate challenges his drawing of Santa, he begins wondering whether Santa can look like him. The story brings that question of representation into a young child’s holiday experience, alongside familiar seasonal activities. Its focus on a child’s first encounter with a Black Santa gives the Christmas setting a clear personal and cultural dimension.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring Christmas traditions and celebrations
  • Families seeking a picture book featuring a Black Santa Claus
  • Young readers encountering themes of identity and representation

Christmas is just around the corner, and Khalil can't wait to celebrate with his favorite traditions.
