The Boy who became Santa Claus: Inspired by the true story!

Have you ever wondered how Santa Claus got his name, why he secretly gives presents at Christmas Eve or why he wears a red suit? Children and their parents will be delighted to learn the truth about Santa’s life and the origins of many of our favorite Christmas traditions, like hanging stockings. This unique story, brought to life by marvellous illustrations, steps back in time to follow the adventures of a kind and generous boy called Nicholas. As a much-loved hero, discover how Nicholas takes his place in history as Saint Nick and then Santa Claus. Author, Paul Stevens, hopes this true story will encourage children everywhere to know how special they are and inspire them to believe that they too can do something great with their life and make a difference to others, just like Nicholas! I grew up on the shores of Botany Bay in Sydney, Australia and was raised by a kind and generous mom. My friends and I were mad about Star Wars and we would play together in the front garden of our small house, staging make-believe battles against the Empire. When I wasn't caught up in space, I'd spend time with my younger brother and two sisters pretending the four of us could enter Narnia through our mom's wardrobe. Today, nothing has changed. I'm still a big kid at heart... and I always will be. I've always loved adventure stories. My favorite being those which explain the origin of the hero. That's why I wrote this book. When I discovered Santa's amazing true back story ... yep, Santa is real... then I just couldn't wait to share it with you! I have a Bachelor of Business degree and worked in the corporate world. I've entertained large crowds as a professional sportsperson. Now as a Pastor, public speaker and author I like bringing enjoyment to others whilst igniting character traits like kindness, generosity and bravery to help bring to life the hero in all of us! I had a rough childhood, so I'm really passionate about letting children everywhere know how special they are. I like to inspire them to believe that they too can do something great with their life, just like... 'Nicholas the boy who became Santa Claus!' www.paulanthonystevens.com.au
