Sos over the Atlantic Patti Akams

Children from all over the world recognize the story of a jolly man who brings presents to those who have been good throughout the year. Though they may come from different cultures and celebrate the time of year very differently from one another, they have a lot in common. SOS Over the Atlantic tells a story of love and generosity as it seeks a way to begin making things better for the world's children. Dedicated to those who have died in wars or accidents, it describes a new Santa Claus, one that children everywhere can relate to and understand. During his magical one-day journey, Santa visits a wide range of places, crossing time zones and encountering various cultures and traditions that help all of us understand what we share regardless of our differences. He offers a new perspective for children about the world they share with so many others. This children's tale explores the story of Santa Claus from a global perspective, a figure known to children around the world by many names.
