Something About Christmas

Something About Christmas is the eighth book in a collection of stories written by South Dakota author/storyteller, Tom Roberts. His other books include ‘Twas The Night Before Christ; Santa’s Prayer; The Little Lost Sock; Return To The Farm – A Christmas Journey; The Greatest Gift – The Wise Ones’ Journey; On That One Christmas Eve; and A New Norm.

Something About Christmas is illustrated by Sioux Falls artist, Hector Curriel and purchases of the book benefit Children’s Home Society of South Dakota.

It is a poetic story of a little boy who is sad that Christmas is over and it is time to put away the decorations. His parents help him realize that Christmas continues to exist in the dawn of each new day.

Since 2002, Children’s Home Society has raised a net of over $1.4 million through a combination of sponsorships and sales of over 60,000 books. Through storytelling programs and book signings at schools, churches, libraries, books stores, service clubs, arts festivals and community events this project has reached thousands of people of all ages across the state and beyond.
