I love kids. I love how they think. I love how Ethan Khiem Matsuda, upon grasping the basics of global warming, immediately thought, “What’s going to happen to Santa?”
Then he wrote a book about it.
In The North Pole is Sinking!, “Ice is melting in the North Pole, threatening Santa’s workshop. Santa and his reindeer set out to investigate the cause. Can the children of the world save the day?”
No, it won’t freak your kid out to read a book about global warming — the story is described as heartwarming, engaging, and hope-giving. Aww. Warm fuzzies.
