(2) K-3 Illustrated by Kevin Hawkes. According to this satisfying origin story, Santa's just a guy blessed with a "jovial disposition," an "obsession with toys," an inventive mind, and a generous nature. His first-person narration is plainspoken with touches of folksiness, taking readers from babyhood through his early schooling, college, and beyond. Hawkes's vibrant acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations capture the simpler-times family sensibility and the story's winking, tall-tale elements.
