There is a new story on the StoryWalk at the French Art Colony. The title is Santa's New Beard, written by Caroline Crowe and illustrated by Jess Pauwels. It is very close to Christmas and Santa is in a panic! He has accidently shaved off his beard!!! How in the world will the boys and girls recognize him?? What is Santa to do??? The elves are trying to help find a solution. Will this get fixed in time for Christmas???

Come and read the story on StoryWalk to find the answer.
