Synopsis

Summary

This book takes a fun approach to what Christmas Eve might be if we had Old Red Shirt instead of Santa Claus and takes the reader on an adventure with Old Red Shirt’s team of flying white buffalo to deliver frybread and more to houses with moccasins hung up with care! The vivid illustrations truly make this a magical retelling of a Christmas classic with an Indigenous twist.
