Staff Reviews


Possibly the cutest book of the season, featuring a battle-ready Santa and, while I'm sure they're deadly, the most adorable ninjas. Brilliant illustrations and format, cute idea. [sweet pea]

— From Samurai Santa

Description


A young ninja wants a snowball fight for Christmas, and he just might get his holiday wish in this picture book with graphic novel–inspired illustrations that celebrate the spirit of giving, Samurai style.

It’s snowing on Christmas Eve! Yukio loves snowball fights, but none of the other ninjas will play with him for fear of landing on Santa’s naughty list. Can Yukio chase Santa away from Ninja Village, or will a Samurai Santa thwart Yukio’s plan? An epic snowball fight later, one thing’s for sure: this is going to be Yukio’s best Christmas ever.
