About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Gianna had crept down the stairs to watch Santa place presents under the tree every Christmas morning since she can remember. When a neighboring parent decides to inform her that Santa is just a man in a costume and he isn’t real at all, her world collapses and she feels cheated. Not wanting this to have an effect on his granddaughter’s Christmas Spirit, her grandfather sets a plan into action that would ease her pain and renew her trust. The results were much more than he had expected. There are surely many stories of how this family issue is handled. This is only one of them that worked perfectly!
Deftly constructed at 55 pages, Tell me the truth. Is Santa for real?: A 5yr old's own story! is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Child Development category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Tell Me the Truth.

About the Author
Gianna Marie was a happy, healthy five year old when her world was suddenly filled with doubt and despair. Happy to send her annual letter to Santa, when she heard some news that the whole Santa story was a fake, the deception was too much for her to handle. She became confused and withdrawn and felt that her parents had lied to her. When her grandfather stepped in to tell the truth about Santa, her spirit was not only renewed but at a very young age she gained tremendous insight into the true meaning of Christmas. At the date of publishing of this book, Gianna is a high school teenager in Advanced Honors classes. She has a great outlook on life and a firm plan for college and the future. Each year since she was not quite six years old, she has portrayed "Jingles the Elf" to share her Christmas Spirit with children of all ages. Her promise, made to Santa himself, was to continue a tradition that started as a healing process and will last a lifetime. Her co-authoring of this book, at the age of five, was a true inspiration. Although it was written over ten years ago, it wasn't until this past Christmas that they decided to make it official.
