The story takes a behind-the-scenes look at how Santa knows which children have been naughty or nice and whether they deserve the presents on their Christmas lists. Santa's Secret Agents, under the command of jolly Saint Nick (a.k.a. Double Ho 7) and Mrs Claus, are always watching but where are they hiding?
Bristol-born Steve, who now lives in Clevedon, co-authored the book with Chris Wheeler. As well as illustrating the book, Steve designed free colouring sheets that will be available to take home after the reading, or colour-in at the library.
Published by Carraway Publishing, the 32-page book was written to encourage reading from an early age. It appeals to children aged five and upwards, in particular seven and eight-year-olds. The humorous book is also popular with adults – look out for the tongue-in-cheek spy references.
Santa’s Secret Agents is available to buy from local bookshops or to loan from North Somerset libraries.
