Description

Christmas is threatened by a snow cone catastrophe in the latest book in the Mythical Feasts series, following Dinos Love Donuts and Monsters Love Brownies.

I'm sure you know that Santa cares for cookies as a treat. You might have even baked him some on Christmas Eve to eat.

But did you know that Santa loves snow cones? He tops them with sprinkles, gummy bears, and yummy creams. Snow cones are the best snack to have on a sleigh ride while he's out making holiday wishes come true. They are perfect for snow cone fights, but the snow cones must stay white... or else they'll ruin Santa's favourite white suit.

Santa Loves Snow Cones is a charming rhythmic romp about how Santa got his Christmas colours. The third installment of the Mythical Feasts series, Santa Loves Snow Cones, is the perfect holiday gift for any child.

"A fun, inventive backstory for that jolly old elf." - Kirkus Reviews

About the Author

Ben Okon is a children's book author who never outgrew his childhood habit of asking "why?" and "how?" Now that he's a father of two and is the one giving the answers, he loves challenging himself to think through things he wishes he had known earlier in life from the perspective of a child. When he is not working on children's books, he works at Google on their strategy and operations team. He brings a unique analytical method to the children's picture book world, crafting and testing each of his books using the same rigor that he employs when making decisions for some of the world's most influential leaders. He lives in Birmingham, Alabama, with his wife and young sons. Komal Sharma is a children's book illustrator specializing in colorful and imaginative worlds for young readers. She holds a BFA in Applied Art and lives in Lucknow, India, with her family.
