"It's not easy being Welcome Comfort - a foster child always moving from home to home and getting picked on by the kids at school. Even Christmas, the most wondrous time of the year, isn't so wondrous for Welcome who has no family, no presents, and no Santa Claus. "Santa! He's not even real!" But when Mr. Hamp, the school custodian, becomes his closest friend, Welcome's life changes forever. Now he has someone to visit during recess and a family to be a part of. Yet Christmastime continues to be lonely for Welcome since the Hamps go away every Christmas Eve and there's still no sign of Santa. Mr. Hamp assures Welcome, "Child, he'll find you. Maybe he hasn't come because you haven't believed hard enough." In a story full of wonder and surprises, Patricia Polacco invites you to come with Welcome Comfort on an extraordinary Christmas adventure across a night sky. Accompanied by art that radiates the brilliance of the season, this heartwarming journey through the generations of a boy's life proves that "believing is seeing" and asks if perhaps there isn't a Santa Claus inside every one of us." --
