@pathway75 Thanks so much for asking! I can understand why you might be a bit hesitant, but please, don't be! This is a family friendly book that tells the history of Bishop Nicholas of Myra -- a REAL person. He has taken various incarnations as he travels around the world, and various names because he always wanted people to feel comfortable with him. Also included are the symbols (Christmas tree, stockings, candy canes) and the traditions of Christmas around the world. Merry Christmas!

would love to know what age this book is appropriate for and/or see a few words or pages from the actual book to help me decide whether it is appropriate for my child yet.
