Young Santa speaks in animal tracks and simples of the moon. He gets lost in the land of seeds and snow. He does not know what he does not know.
A "quietly astonishing" debut (Dan Beachy-Quick), Young Santa sketches the life of a would-be saint "with pagan traces of Frank L. Baum's Claus and a spiritual afterlife akin to the mystics" (Chuck Stebelton, Woodland Pattern).
