Albert, The Christmas Gorilla


Book Description

"If Santa only comes on one night, what happens when a child of divorced parents celebrates Christmas later with their other parent?" There is not a happy holiday story for kids with split homes (that I am aware of), although children with multiple homes now count for over 52 percent of American society. My story gives the background of how Albert the Gorilla made his way to the North Pole, his idea of how to help Santa make sure kids with split families have an extra special Christmas. This story gives children with split families something that is uniquely theirs.
