"Take a fun holiday trip to Oklahoma! As each of the twelve days of Christmas pass, VERY unusual gifts from around the state pile up. Lucky readers are in for a wild countdown!'--From page 4 of cover

Very seldom does Santa ever find snow covering the land in Oklahoma. This sometimes gives him problems getting all his presents to the sleeping children. In this version of the popular tale, Santa brings his gifts on a four-wheeling ATV as blasts of freezing cold sweep into the state, and even his cozy Santa suit can't keep him warm. When radar signals pick up his flying machine, the airport controllers become concerned about the unidentified object in the sky. And then there's that pesky raccoon that digs into Santa's bag. Is Santa ever going to be able to complete this Christmas ride? Find out in Oklahoma Night Before Christmas. This book won the 2014 Oklahoma Writer's Federation, Inc. Best Juvenile Book Award.

This innovative retelling of the classic Christmas tale takes a whimsical look at what Christmas Eve might be like for an American Indian family when Old Red Shirt (the Indian Santa Claus) comes a-calling. He brings with him his team of flying white buffalo to deliver fry bread, commodities, and other goodies. Renowned Cherokee artist Jesse Hummingbird’s inspired illustrations transform the author’s playful adaptation into a fresh, modern work of art. A delight for people of all ages and cultures. The title was the winner of the 2010 Moonbeam Award for Holiday Books. A glossary is included to explain terms commonly used in Native communities such as fry bread, commodities, and medicine bundles.
