Description
"People think my job is just about presents, but my CEO knows our real mission. She leads our global effort to spread a ripple of generosity, and the results are clear: a kinder, more connected world, proving that the true magic of Christmas is in what we give." - Santa Claus
What if a Christmas book could do more than just tell a story? What if it could spark a lifetime of generosity and leadership?
In When I'm Santa's CEO, a young girl re-imagines the North Pole with a modern mission: to spread a ripple of generosity and prove the true magic of Christmas is in what we give.
This isn't a book that ends on the last page. Written as a series of fifteen powerful affirmations (e.g., "When I'm Santa's CEO, I'll..."), it is a unique conversation starter designed for parents and children to share together. Each beautifully illustrated page is a launchpad for important discussions, encouraging questions about "what" and "why" and nurturing a child's natural curiosity.
Use this book as a tool to explore essential concepts like:
- Leadership, teamwork, and decision-making
- Philanthropy and the true joy of giving
- Community, empathy, and social impact
- Believing in yourself and your power to create change
Written by surgeon and advocate Dr Samantha Pillay, this book continues her mission to challenge gender stereotypes and inspire children to lead with heart.
Ideal for children aged 4 to 8, When I'm Santa's CEO is more than a book, it's an experience that percolates in a young mind long after story-time is over. Give a gift that starts a conversation that can last a lifetime.

"A heartwarming and beautifully illustrated story that reminds children of the most important lesson of all: the power to give, to lead, and to create change lives within each of us. When I’m Santa’s CEO is a true gift and one that will inspire a new generation of generous, thoughtful leaders." -
