The number one thing on Monte and Mabel’s Christmas wish list is the chance to hang out with Santa Claus. So when his sleigh breaks down in their yard as he’s finishing up his last delivery, they couldn’t be more delighted—Santa’s gonna stay with them while he waits for spare parts to be delivered! It’s a dream come true . . . or is it? It turns out Santa doesn’t have a lot of experience being a houseguest, and likes to rock out late at night and swigs spaghetti sauce from the jar.

Every holiday, aunties, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and neighbors come over to eat, sing, and celebrate life. But all our main character can think about is the sweet potato pie Granny makes just for her. As tables fill with baked macaroni and cheese, chitlins, and other sides a-steaming, she and Granny move the pie to keep it intact. The task becomes trickier as the room grows with dancing and card games and pie cravings. Just when all seems lost and there’s no more pie, Granny pulls out a sweet surprise.

Publisher's Summary
A little girl's belief in Santa is restored in this ode to the magic of Christmas. This is a holiday gift listeners will treasure for years to come!
It's two weeks before Christmas, and Deja is worried that Santa might not be able to visit her - after all, as a city kid, she doesn't have a chimney for him to come down and none of the parking spots on her block could fit a sleigh, let alone eight reindeer! But with a little help from her family, community, and Santa himself, Deja discovers that the Christmas spirit is alive and well in her city.
With warm, lively narration that captures the joy of the holidays, this adapted-for-audio picture book from award-winning author Tiffany D. Jackson is not to be missed.
Critic Reviews
A 2021 Black Caucus American Library Association Best of the Best Booklist selection
"A delightful holiday story.... Brown’s cartoon-style illustrations are awash in purples, blues, and grays - not colors one would typically associate with a holiday story, but that fit perfectly in a book about Christmas in the city." (School Library Journal, starred review)
"Warm [and] imaginative...[a] reassuring book for any child who’s ever worried about Santa’s magic reaching them." (Publishers Weekly)
“The representation in this work will win the hearts of many children looking to see themselves in Christmas stories…. A winner for Santa skeptics and believers alike.” (Booklist, starred review)
