<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This is the story of a cold winter day -the day before Christmas eve, and a young woman hunting for the perfect present for her parents so that she could make them happy. The woman, who never believed Santa Claus since she was a little child, decided to be Santa Claus for them. However, becoming Santa was harder than she expected. She searched high and low but the perfect gift was nowhere to be found. She was ready to give up... until an unexpected encounter changed her fortunes. The Christmas Present is a timeless story about giving, growing, and learning to believe.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>About Sae Okihara: Growing up in her beloved Kobe, Japan, one of Sae's favorite memories was of the trips she took to Mt. Maya with her father and the family's black shiba inu, Saburo, then coming home to talk to her mom about the trip like a broken record. Ever the adventurer on a journey to find herself, she left Japan at 27 with a dream to immerse herself in the cultural melting pot of the United States. The plan may have been to stay for just one year but it didn't quite work out that way. Many years years later she lives in NJ with her husband and two crazy Godzillas where she enjoys offering lectures about Japanese language and culture at various corporations, indulges in her love of baking, and occasionally jumps out of planes for fun. She's still looking for herself and this story is a part of her journey.
