\nAuthor Robin Jones writes about a personal Christmas miracle in \u2018Letter from Santa Claus\u2019

VICTORIA, British Columbia, Dec. 01, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cookies and carols are staples of the Christmas season, but with a challenging year coming to a close, the holidays are also an opportune time to shine a Yuletide light on the children that will not be waking up at home for Christmas this year. In his enchanting children\u2019s book, \u201cLetter from Santa Claus,\u201d Robin Jones reminisces on a special letter that he received from Santa when he was five years old and stuck in a hospital just before Christmas, which he found in his attic a few years ago.<\/p>\n

In 1949, Jones fell ill with pneumonia and had to spend time in the hospital right before Christmas. In the spirit of the holidays, he wrote a letter to Santa. Soon after, Jones was awoken by his father who found a letter from Santa waiting for him on his hospital bed. Santa shared the magical stories of elves and reindeer with Jones. The next day, on Christmas Eve, a miracle happened; his health greatly improved, and he returned home just in time for Christmas.<\/p>\n

Jones\u2019 book touches on two very important topics that have made headlines throughout 2020: hospitalization and diversity. Jones, who is biracial, shares his struggles of being cooped up in a hospital room during the holiday season.\u00a0Children who are spending the holidays in the hospital may be inspired to find their own spark of Christmas cheer after reading this book. Also, biracial children may connect with the main character, who has a Black father, because they can see themselves represented in him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith so many people in hospitals around the world this holiday season, I want to reach people with my story to spread optimism and Christmas cheer,\u201d said Jones. \u201cI want children who are reading this book to understand that all children around the world matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones published \u201cLetter from Santa Claus\u201d to help children realize with the help of a little Christmas spirit, and hope in their hearts, anything is possible. By showcasing loving parents and a supportive doctor, Jones reminds children that they are not alone.<\/p>\n
