The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition is an activity the entire family will enjoy. Based on the tradition Carol Aebersold began with her family in the 1970s, this cleverly rhymed children's book explains that Santa knows who is naughty and/or nice because he sends a scout elf to every home. During the holiday season, the elf watches children by day and reports to Santa each night. When children awake, the elf has returned from the North Pole and can be found hiding in a different location. This activity allows The Elf on the Shelf to become a delightful hide-and-seek game.

In Santa's Christmas village at the North Pole, the elves celebrate special days all year round. Apart from Christmas, though, nothing is more exciting to a scout elf than a birthday--and elves celebrate birthdays with a tradition that goes back thousands of years. Now, at the request of children from around the world, Santa has given his scout elves special permission to share that birthday tradition with the families they love. An elf cannot come to a celebration, though, unless it is invited.

What happened, my child? Why are you so upset? The little girl turned her head at the sound of a low, melodic voice. A heavy sigh escaped her, expressing the full measure of despair available to a five-year-old child. What do you think, what can make her laugh? The girl plunged into deep thought and even frowned, collecting her thoughts with all her might. Flowers? Mom has always loved flowers, but now even the largest bouquet is unlikely to make her smile again. No, you need something more important, more significant. The crease between her eyebrows deepened as she thought so tensely. Maybe mommy will be happy with the same thing that would make her happy?A doll, for example? No, mommy probably doesn't want a doll. Then a red lollipop with a chocolate filling? Not good either. Well, what, what?

The Winter Elf speaks to familiar feelings from childhood, especially those of fear and grief, but also of love and security. It’s Christmas time, and Clara Rose is grieving the absence of her mother who is hospitalized. The resulting family stress leaves the child feeling lost and alone. In response, she keeps her worries and tears silent, trying hard to be a 'good little girl' and not call attention to herself. When an odd but proper English elf shows up in her yard one snowy night, the little girl sees her sacrifice of self in a new light as she learns the importance of embracing her pain and opening up with those who love her. Clara discovers that it is only through sharing her hurts and hopes that her heart can find healing. The Winter Elf revisits the nostalgic enchantment of wintertime and fairytales. Reading the tale aloud, families connect and bond in the cozy evening hours before bed and learn with Clara Rose the importance of sharing one’s heart, hurt, and hope.
