An important message from Nicholas Saint:
Lightning and electricity can be quite bad
Playing with them will make you really sad
Sparkie’s an elf, and a magical being
And from the storm he should have been fleeing
Always stay inside in a lightning storm
Where you can be safe, happy and warm.
Lightning and Electricity are dangerous! Never, ever play with them.
Review by Kimberlee J Benart
"In Sparkie The Elf, Nicholas Saint gives us a heroic character and an entertaining holiday story. The full-color illustrations capture the spirit of the season and the emotions of the story. The rhyming narrative is perfect for reading aloud."
A magical tale about an Elf who becomes a living battery.
Can he help Santa and save Christmas?
Sparkie is a hard-working elf who can fix any toy on the shelf. When the Christmas tree arrives in the center of Christmastown, he climbs up to protect it and gets hit by lightning!
Sparkie tries to return to work, but every time he sneezes, electricity shoots out. Now the other elves are afraid of him, and Sparkie ends up all alone.
When Christmas Eve comes, the Mayor goes to light the special tree that Santa uses to find his way, and with a POP, the power goes out. Will Santa have to cancel Christmas, or can Sparkie save the day?
With beautiful artwork by Ukrainian artist Fayza Snani, this fun tale told in rhyme, is a great read-out-loud book. It teaches children that we all have unique gifts, and to accept people who are different.

Review by Irene Valentine
"This is a charming story that shows how easily a child can be excluded because they are different. Yet their uniqueness is something of value. Written in simple rhyme, this story is easy to read aloud with small children. The detailed illustrations are captivating. The beautiful artwork that illustrates the fantasy of the North Pole, Christmas Town, and Santa’s elves is sure to delight every young child."
