SANTA'S SPECIAL MISSION
Have you ever moved to a new house and worried that Santa wouldn’t know where you live? What would you do to get Santa’s attention? This is the dilemma Mia and Ben find themselves in when they realize they sent their letters to Santa from their old house in Florida. They are desperate to get Santa’s attention. Between the two of them, they come up with some crazy ideas like sleeping on the roof on Christmas Eve with a super bright flashlight to putting a giant magnet on the roof to try to pull Santa’s sleigh out of the sky! The closer it gets to Christmas, the more worried they become! Will Santa ever notice them?

"Kerre does an excellent job capturing the reality of military families as they criss-cross the globe serving the greatest nation on earth. Our family made the exact move detailed in her story, from Florida to Texas, when our son was 8 years old and our daughter was 10 years old. They too were very concerned about Santa and his sleigh full of gifts. This story is a must read for all children, especially those whose parents serve in our armed forces."
Major General Mitch Hanson, US Air Force
“A traditional ‘Feel Good’ Christmas story for everyone with artwork that opens your imagination into the story. ‘Special Mission’, with its military theme, took me back in time to those very fond childhood memories of Christmas with my family. I loved the kids' imagination to use a big flashlight to get Santa's attention and the giant magnet to catch his sleigh. This book will be enjoyed by kids and adults every Christmas.”
Maj Gen (Ret) Kevin Pottinger, USAF
"Santa's Special Mission puts into words the feelings and emotions many military children have experienced during the Christmas holidays at a new duty station, including my own four kids. It can be incredibly challenging (at any age) to move to a location every two to three years, but this important book will help military children understand that Santa has a special place in his heart for them AND a PCS move doesn't mean the joy and excitement they've previously felt during past holidays will ever change. A relatable, well written story that will be read again and again!"

"Reading this book brings back memories of my own experiences as part of a military family. Kerre has masterfully captured the challenges and transitions that define our lives. The depiction of a move in the book closely mirrors our own relocations from Colorado to Japan and subsequently from Japan to Texas. Our children often struggle with the uncertainties of new environments wondering if Santa will find them or if they will be accepted at their new schools and much more. This book is an essential read and a valuable resource for military families. It is one that I believe should be shared widely within our community. The ending of this book almost had me in tears because it touched so closely to my heart and home."

"After reading Santa’s Special Mission, it will definitely be in my book rotation for my daughter. Being she is a toddler, this book will help teach her for the years to come when we start to pcs that she’s not alone and help her work through some big emotions. This story is fun for littles with a great message behind it. I highly recommend for military children."
