"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

When I’m Santa’s CEO is a heartwarming Christmas picture book that empowers young readers to imagine themselves as leaders of generosity, purpose, and compassion.
