Santa’s Husband audiobook

Get you someone that looks at you like Santa's husband looks at Santa.

This book was fun to read. This is a book at my brother's house and so I read it to the nephew before bed one night. I love that Santa has a husband and they work together. Still, even I felt like this book was pushing an agenda. Still, what fun to have a black Santa Claus and his husband. I do wish it was more of a story, but still, it's fun.Some friends sent this book as a gift to my brother. Good friends there.

Santa's Husband, like so many things, began as a Twitter joke, but now it is a wonderful real thing: a children's book describing the life of black Santa Claus and his white husband. For the first half of the book, Daniel Kibblesmith simply tells it like it is, and I must admit, I had to fight a lot of cognitive dissonance. Reading about and seeing a black Santa and his white husband went against everything I knew about Santa Claus in every single depiction of this mythical figure I was aware of. But here is an opposing perspective, another depiction to insinuate itself into your mind. Kibblesmith addresses the issue head-on in the second half, making this is a very meta book that comments on the criticism of its own existence. It never succumbs to being an "ironic" children's book that's there to entertain adults; it functions beautifully as an actual children's book with a strong message that kids should hear, especially before they've had too many years of indoctrination with a heterosexual white Santa Claus. A.P. Quach's delightful illustrations made me smile throughout, brimming with color and cuteness. While many pages simply show one or both of the Clauses engaging in domestic life, the art really shines in the double-page spreads with multiple figures and some nice visual storytelling. 2017 has been largely terrible, but the existence of Santa's Husband is a bright spot to ring in the Christmas season.

What a total delight this book was. The illustrations by A.P. Quach are sweet and clever as anything as you'll ever see in any Christmas book, and Daniel Kibblesmith infuses this work with the perfect blend of humor and kindness. I was surprised to see some people claiming that this adorable children's book is "rewriting history" as Santa is a fictional character. And, I'm going out on a limb here, but many people think that Santa might just be your parents or people who take care of you, who can come in many, amny different forms. It's an addition to the Christmas season that I hope will find it's place alongside the Elf of the Shelf, Rudolph, and other recent contributions to Christmas lore.

This sweet, charming story is beautifully illustrated and conveys the important message that both Santas and families can come in all colors, shapes and sizes.

The perfect holiday read! This book is very cute (and also quite funny) and a festive treat for the upcoming season.

since I started at the library, I've casually read many picture books or nonfiction children's books. but this is the one I'm choosing to log on Goodreads because it's just so good...plus I cried so there's that

What a sweet little book. The exact-right blend of irreverence and gentleness. AP Quach's doe-eyed characters are a perfect match. Every page exudes affection and holiday spirit.

Cauuuute!

Super cute.

Easily the best Christmas book I've ever read. I love Santa and his husband.

Completely charming and wickedly funny. Thank G-d someone wrote this and put the meaning back in Christmas.
