While playing at school, Ana learns her friend doesn’t believe in Santa Claus. Confused, she asks her Auntie for answers. Instead, her aunt shows Ana photos of celebrating together with neighbors. Remembering all the fun she had from the photos, Ana learns empathy for different traditions, celebrations, and beliefs. She begins to understand that her way of seeing the world is not the only one. Ana is able to answer her own question by the end. Does this sound familiar? It’s a classic disagreement between children, is Santa real or imaginary? A great starting point for a conversation about different traditions, diversity, and disagreements. Christmas Without a Fireplace is fun story written to encourage empathy for different traditions, celebrations and beliefs all around the world.
