Long ago, a brave little girl named Anja wanted to be one of Santa's elves.

So she leaves a note for her family and helps her elderly neighbor prepare for the holiday, then she straps on her skis, and heads out into the snowy landscape. From a red bird to a polar bear to a reindeer, a menagerie of winter animals help Anja make her way to Santa. A generous trim-size, matte cover, and extraordinary photographs make this a special book for the holiday season.
