This is a book full of Christmas spirit.I know this is the retelling of a classic and that there is even a movie, but I don't know them (maybe because I'm not American). This is the only version of the story I know.This story comes with some surprises. It is not so universal as many others, due to the mentioning of certain geographical references: New York, Central Park, and Macy's. American children may fell closer to this story.The main surprise is that Santa Claus goes to court. He has to prove that he's really Santa. And the US Post Office has a decisive role in the judge's verdict.However, his most important challenge is for him to prove himself to Susan. She's a little girl that only knows the commercial part of Christmas, and doesn't believe in its magic. She doesn't ask him for toys. Although feeling foolish and skeptic, she asks for a family and a home. With a little flame of hope inside her.This is a story about believing. In Christmas magic. In generosity and kindness, even among strangers. In the joy of pretending and make-believe in childhood. Of believing in Santa. The importance of imagination for children. And faith for adults. Miracles. Believing that the best will happen. And that in the end, true happiness lies, above all, in home and family.The story is magic and the illustrations by James Newman Gray are amazing! I'm sure children's eyes will wander the exquisite details and bright-colored images.There is some contrast between the modern Christmas story and the classic illustration style. Although I like the plot, the illustration is the star of this book, starting with the cover. Many people will buy this book enchanted by the amazing cover.I recommend this book to older children because there is a considerable amount of text and the language, although simple, may not be accessible for younger ones. I'm certain adults will also love it.I'll leave with two quotes I really liked:"Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to."" Make-believe and pretending are what being a child is all about! It’s about imagination. How would you like to make snowballs in the summertime? How would you like to visit the Statue of Liberty in the morning and in the afternoon fly south with a flock of geese?”I received this book as an eARC from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Beautiful book. For my daughters Xmas eve box so not read yet.
