Reviews
"Jesse Hummingbird's inspired illustrations transform Gary Robinson's playful adaptation into a fresh and modern work of art. A delight for people of all ages and cultures, especially those interested in Native American customs and art."-- "Goodminds"
"For a child, the poem presents an old story in a new light, complete with a Native Santa clad in buckskins, beadwork and carrying a medicine bundle. If that's not tradition, I don't know what is. As for the adults sharing the story, this is a poem that will at the very least, make you smile."-- "The Circle News"
