(2) PS Illustrated by Reggie Brown. Deja believes in Santa, but...how can he get into her apartment without a chimney? And there aren't any parking spaces on her city street--where will he put his sleigh? The adults in her life--Mommy, Mr. Ortiz from the corner bodega, her aunts and uncles--do their best to (very creatively) answer her questions, but Deja isn't satisfied. On Christmas Eve, her plan to stay awake so she can quiz Santa herself fails. But she awakens on Christmas morning to find proof that Santa has been there--a message from him, just for her. Lively digital illustrations portray a close-knit Black family and urban community in a story that will reassure kids with the same concerns as Deja's.
