"Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to."
If those words ring a bell, you've probably seen—and fallen in love with—the popular holiday film based on this heartwarming Christmas story. Dreamed up by the author as he watched the Macy's parade with his own family, it follows the emotional transformation of a thoroughly modern, no-nonsense mother who has taught her young daughter all too well that fairy stories are make-believe and dreams can't come true. The catalyst for this change: an old man who claims to be...Santa Claus. This beautiful version features color illustrations and spot art by the great Tomie de Paola, a winner of the Caldecott Medal, whose books have sold more than five million copies.
