Book excerpt: Children's Book Calls for "Telling With, Not Telling To" The value of reading has been instilled in children for centuries; its importance is already well-established. The merits of participatory storytelling are explored here. Author Teresa deBarba-Miller shares her passion in creating stories that encourage children to bring forth their ingenuity and creativity via their imagination in SANTA CLAUS IN LAUGHING VALLEY, featuring "Santa's Laughing Song," music and lyric by Thomm Morgan. This brilliant creative kicks off with a thoughtful and well-versed introduction by Laura Simms, a narrative therapist who won several awards such as the notable Brimstone Award for Engaged Storytelling and Sesame Street's award for work with children worldwide. For Simms, the experience of participation in telling stories truly generates happiness. "When we concentrate on the story and become responsible for bringing it alive, it takes us out of the concerns we have in our everyday life." Simms added, "There is renewed creative energy to find alternative ideas and meaning in one's life. The sound of the stories reconnects us to the song inherent in everything. One benefit is that joining-in generates social responsibility by reminding us we are able to respond." deBarba-Miller crafted SANTA CLAUS IN LAUGHING VALLEY. In this delightfully-spun tale, the youngsters' imagination will fire up as they take turns guessing what happens next to Saint Nick and his elves of Laughing Valley (way before the crew set foot at the North Pole) as five new miserable residents make the valley their nest, also. By turns timely and timeless, SANTA CLAUS IN LAUGHING VALLEY allows young readers to let their imagination wander and wonder, making way for a new generation of innovators and artists.

Book excerpt: "In the PREFACE to PART 2, deBarba Miller shares her thoughts on how the arts should be given more focus in schools and learning institutions across the nation. 'I honestly believe that a proper arts program in schools should emphasize, rather than minimize, the knows arts as well as creative skills,' she explained. 'I also believe that exposure to the arts, which incorporate environmental studies, advances our students into thinking, imaginative human beings in every regard'. By turns timely and timeless, SANTA CLAUS IN THE LAUGHING VALLEY allows young readers to let their imagination wander and wonder, making way for a new generation of innovators and artists".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1904, ‘A Kidnapped Santa Claus’ by L. Frank Baum is a festive short story from the prolific Oz author. Contentedly living in his castle in Laughing Valley, Santa has become a source of envy for a group of Daemons living nearby; Selfishness; Envy; Hatred; Malice; and the confused Daemon of Repentance. The Daemons try to lure Santa into taking part in their wicked ways, but Santa is too good to be tempted or tricked. When this fails, the Daemons hatch a dastardly plot to kidnap Santa Claus instead. Santa’s friends must hurry to find him, whilst also completing Santa’s mission to deliver everyone’s gifts and save Christmas. Lyman Frank Baum (1856 – 1919) was a prolific and well-known American writer. He is best known for his famous series of modern fairy tales set in the imaginary land of Oz. The first of the books, ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’ is widely considered to be the first true American fairy tale and was the basis for the hugely popular 1939 classic musical ‘The Wizard of Oz’ starring Judy Garland. Born and raised in New York, Baum held a range of jobs including as a poultry farmer, clerk, and storekeeper before pursuing his talent for writing at the age of 41. He wrote 14 novels in the Oz series, as well as over 40 other novels and over 80 short stories. He died in California in 1919.

Excerpt: "Santa Claus lives in the Laughing Valley, where stands the big, rambling castle in which his toys are manufactured. His workmen, selected from the ryls, knooks, pixies and fairies, live with him, and every one is as busy as can be from one year's end to another. It is called the Laughing Valley because everything there is happy and gay. The brook chuckles to itself as it leaps rollicking between its green banks; the wind whistles merrily in the trees; the sunbeams dance lightly over the soft grass, and the violets and wild flowers look smilingly up from their green nests. To laugh one needs to be happy; to be happy one needs to be content. " Features: Original 1904 Text Classic Christmas Short Story Dimensions: 5x8 inches Matte Cover
