True Blue Santa

Honestly, how cute is True Blue Santa?

This is the sort of thing that actually makes it easier to describe all sorts of things to kids. A little comparison between one place and another. I think it is a very cool gift for kids who have just arrived in Australia.

Fake snow, robins on Christmas cards and reindeer instead of roos ... Christmas in Australia is simply far too European!

True Blue Santa
So Jack and Hannah decide it needs an all-Australian makeover and with the help of Santa they swap snow for sunshine, Christmas stockings for thongs, ice for icy-poles and more!


Beautifully illustrated, Anne Mangan and Kim Fleming's True Blue Santa is not only the perfect gift for little dinky-di Aussies this Christmas, it is a great gift for any child who is learning that the world is a big and amazing place!


About the author: Anne Mangan was born in London, and migrated with her family to Australia when she was two. She is currently employed as a social worker in country Victoria, where she lives with her family.


About the illustrator: Kim Fleming creates playful illustrations for children using watercolours, collage and coloured pencils on paper.
