Bookroo's summary
When Santa is sidelined on Christmas Eve, elf Eddie turns to Murray, a diner owner, to fill in. Reluctantly donning the red suit, Murray, with a persistent elf and a hopeful child, discovers that heart, not size, makes a true Santa. Can Murray deliver the magic of Christmas in his own unique way?
From the publisher
When Santa is put out of commission, deli owner Murray Kleiner reluctantly agrees to take his place, putting a spin on Christmas that’s all his own. And with the help of a pushy elf and an eager-to-believe young boy, Murray finds that even though he’s not big enough to fill Santa’s suit, he’s got more than enough heart to get the job done. Illustrated by David Catrow.
