Island Santa

Sam's sister, accompanied by their father, is in a hospital far away from their home on a remote island off the West Coast. Determined to be with his family for Christmas, Sam catches a ride on a Santa Boat, a vessel that will bring Santa Claus and gifts to the children all along the coast before delivering Sam at last to the hospital. This audio enhanced edition features a lively, musical soundtrack with read along narration. The story links the historical philanthropy of Kaare Norgaard to the current day philanthropy of Jeneece Edroff, who was the inspiration for Jeneece Place, a 10-bedroom home away from home for families travelling to Victoria for their child's medical care. Part of the proceeds from sale of Island Santa will go to Jeneece Place. Recommended reading ages 4-10Island Santa was produced in 2012 by Children's Health Foundation of Vancouver Island.
