Billy Sharff Reads When Santa Came to Stay

Get into the holiday spirit with the whole family before the Wassail bonfire on Friday! Upper Valley writer Billy Sharff will read When Santa Came to Stay, a brand new picture book on having too much of a good thing.

What happens when your Christmas cookies are too good? Santa comes . . . to stay! At first, it’s fantastic: treats and toys and reindeer flights every day. Then Mrs. Claus arrives. And Baby Claus. And before long, the Easter Bunny and her babies Chuck and Puck and Luck and Duck and . . . you get the picture.

“Rhyming, irreverent lines from Sharff [and] polished, high-energy cartooning by [Eda] Kaban visualizes constant-Christmas chaos [with a] creative solution.” —Publishers Weekly
