Recognizing the challenges this year’s holiday season<br />
will bring, A.H. Edelman was inspired to write<br />
Santa in a Snow Globe, an illustrated children’s<br />
book to offer parents, caregivers, and children a<br />
starting point to talk about life’s new realities—explained<br />
by Santa—complete with timeless advice,<br />
inclusive illustrations, and a big dose of Christmas<br />
cheer. Going beyond mask-wearing and social<br />
distancing, Santa in a Snow Globe also touches on<br />
issues the world is facing today, including climate<br />
change and protests— all while sharing a positive<br />
message of hope and the importance of appreciating<br />
the simpler things in life.<br />

breathable, for comfort in any<br />
temperature. It absorbs and<br />
evaporates humidity better<br />
than any other fabric, and<br />
is hypoallergenic.<br />
The gentle stretchy knit bamboo<br />
has a silky smooth feel that<br />
will keep your little ones cozy<br />
and cool. There are a variety of<br />
colours and styles from sleep<br />
sacks to blankets to clothing.<br />
Remember to Smile is a children’s picture book for<br />
kids ages 2–6 years old describes and illustrates<br />
the different styles of masks, characters that wear<br />
them, when you can wear them, and interesting<br />
ways to use them. Colorful and funny illustrations<br />
bring the book to life and will have kids giggling on<br />
the floor. Remember to Smile proudly supports the<br />
