On Christmas Eve, Coyote wants to find some people to trick out of a hot meal, and he knows there’s one character people can’t refuse on Christmas Eve: Santa Claus. Using straw for a jolly belly and wool for his beard, the Trickster fools a family into welcoming him to their Christmas meal. But just when he thinks he’s gotten away with his ruse, he’s foiled by a strange occurrence. Could it be a Christmas miracle? This book is written and illustrated by S.D. Nelson. “This folktale offers an important message of comeuppance just in time for the holiday season,” Valerie Ralph of Abrams Books told TDmonthly. Launch date: December 2007.
