Priscida is a pretty cool cat. She is found by a family and somehow learns the way to greatness. This is a really unique story that is told in such a way that it will grab the kids attention. They don’t even find out until the end the surprise. I loved the book and will be getting a copy for each of my grandchildren. The message it teaches is one that everyone needs to know and remember. Great book that I highly recommend everyone read.
This story is very heart warming and inspirational story. The young man is starting to wonder if Santa is real. Mom does a fantastic job of explaining this to him in such away that he feels he has a new role to help the younger children. I found it enlightening, heartwarming. The story flowed together nicely. A great story for kids beginning to get older and question Santa.

A sweet children’s read! This book could provide a great read for parents and children struggling with the question of whether or not Santa Claus is real. This book tries to capture the spirit of Christmas and translates a positive message. It was an easy, fast read. I’d recommend for older kids and families who may be trying to help capture the spirit of Christmas and address questions about Santa Claus.

Simply, WOW. This book should be read in classrooms around the world. The author of this fabulous book is blind. They have went into detail, for the reader, about experiences and answered questions that are most commonly asked. They also supplied the alphabet in braille and ASL. This part is great. I have been taking ASL evening classes to help learn to talk with one of my neighbors. It has been a trial, but I keep at it. Just like the author, they keep going. They don’t let being blind be the end. They adapt and use other senses to carry on. And we as a world need to do better to help everyone. Not just people that don’t have disabilities. This story/activity/poem book is perfect for all ages. Everyone should read this.
This is a brilliant book that is so well written and perfect for those with kids of this age. It is such a wonderful way to explain the meaning or Christmas and the illustrations really make it even better. My kids are too young for this book just yet but it is definitely one that I will be keeping in my baxk pocket for the first time I get asked this question. This really is a delightful book.

Priscida is an alley cat and finds herself her forever home. She reminds me of one of my cats. I read this story to my grandbabies and whilst they did not understand the message being two and four they did like to hear about Priscida and looking at the drawings. If only our lives were as simple as a cats. The story is fun with great illustrations and a wonderful message. Priscida finds a home, love and great people who simply care.
If you are looking for a great book for kids then look no further. I really like how the author has dealt with the subject matter and how it is perfectly written to address a child’s curiosity. I also like how the author made it a very easy to read and enjoyable short story. I wish I had children young enough to enjoy this book. I definitely recommend it for anyone with younger kids.

Absolutely perfect! The art is beautifully done and the story is everything I could want for Christmas. This is the perfect way to tell children that there is no “real” Santa Claus, but reminding them that the magic of Santa Claus is real. I really liked the author points out that there will always be a Santa Claus as long as children believe. Children believing in Santa and even adults make the Christmas season all that much more magical. This is really the perfect Christmas book for children, I highly recommend.

What a cute book for kiddos at that age where they start to question the magic of Santa. I read this first and decided to hold off on reading to my daughter as she isnt quite there yet. A gentle way to explain and the illustrations were so beautiful!

Priscida Finds Greatness: In Herself and in Others By Constance Mays
4-stars
This was a great little children’s book, one that teaches great values and morals through the many different situations in Priscida’s life. It’s told in a clear way that children will be able to understand and ultimately enjoy as she takes us through her one-of-a-kind journey.
I really enjoyed reading this one to my little kids and would recommend it to others.

This was a really cute story about believing, not in Santa but in the magic that is Christmas for all people who find this season magical, I mean, people may grow up, but that doesn’t mean that they will stop believing in magic or in hope. Keeping the dream alive is half of the deed ^__^ that is the message of this story. That all of us may also be Dream Keepers.
I have two children, a boy, 4 years old and a girl, 8 years old, and last night when I read this story to them, both liked it very much, we discussed its meaning and why keeping the dream alive is important, it’s a great read not only for children to read alone, but to use this book as a reading for all class, and then discuss with the children what really it’s the meaning of Christmas how loving each other should be more important than, what can or cannot Santa bring!
Other great point is the drawings, this book has great drawings inside, reminded me of old story books, and that thought always warms my heart, as it brings me closer to when I was a child and when I started falling in love with books and reading.
I highly recommend this book, to children 4 -7 reading to them, and 8-11 to leave them reading it alone, but also that this is a great book to share ideas afterward <3

I got this book to read to my five-year-old and was not disappointed. I would have preferred more pictures as he is more drawn to the colorful artwork in children’s books, but the overall storyline was great for a child his age. It centers around finding what truly makes someone great, relying on love, and learning about belonging. These are all important things for growing children to hear about and learn about regularly. We had to read through twice today because he was so excited about a new book. Perfect for a teacher, a parent, or a child who is learning to read independently. This was the first book I downloaded on kindle to read to my child, and I think I will be doing it more in the future.
This is by far the best Christmas story I’ve ever read! It addresses the infamous question of “Is Santa real?” but in a way that doesn’t come right out and say no. This is a heartwarming story story about the magic of Christmas and keeping the magic alive for those around us. I will definitely be reading this to all the kids in my life every year. This is a perfect story for those young kids wanting to know if Santa is real; it explains it perfectly!

This story gets ☆☆☆☆☆ stars! It is one of the cutest stories to answer that age long question. Is Santa Claus real? I love how this story leaves hope for the children. This author has taken what determines a child’s feelings, and allowed them to help others believe. In all my teaching I have always said “Santa is in the hearts of all people.” As this is what I grew up hearing. These characters are as real as you can get when it comes to school peers. What an awesome way to keep Santa in our hearts. Beautiful pictures bring this story to life. I recommend this book to all parents of young children.

This beautifully written story is full of Christmas magic. The illustrations are lovingly drawn. The story is one that all parents don’t look forward to having to face. This is a delightful tale for kids who are at that age to question the magic of the man behind the suit and the reality of Christmas. The author has done a wonderful job of answering this. It is about holding on to traditions and beliefs to help others retain that childhood magic of Christmas. You are never too old to believe in a magic and the spirit of Christmas. Reviewed by @jennadb

Mom, Is There a Santa Claus? by Susan J. Berger- illustrations by K.C. snider. This is a cute children’s Christmas book with interesting and colourful illustrations to accompany the story. This book helps to answer the age old question that seems to come with children growing up… “is there a Santa?”/ “ is Santa real?” – this book helps to answer this difficult question with a lovely story that focuses on Lucas as he asks this question of his mother. Her response is quite heartwarming. The overall message of the story is about not only about the magic of Christmas, but also about the importance of keeping the dream alive and being a ‘Dream-Keeper”. Happy Reading!

This was a wonderful story, I feel every should should read this sweet story. Is there really Santa Clause? It is something most wonder about and will question through out their minds no matter what age. This story was very well done and gave all those tender moments of emotions. It was a story that taught me as I still am to this day, believing is seeing. if you believe in something it very much is real. Sometimes the idea of hope and our beliefs are what we have every day to get through. I loved the story and how the image of Santa was portrayed. It was beautiful, and jolly all in one, a book all children should all get to enjoy! The warmth I felt from reading was wonderful, this book made me smile. I was quite happy to partake in this story. The author made the story and memory of Santa come back to life for me, and for me that is truly touching. Enjoyed this read! I do recommend it, its something we all need to read! 🙂

This is a great interactive children story. I enjoyed how the author used poetry and different activities to get across the point of this book. The author kept the book engaging and the pictures are great. There is plenty to learn in this book and would be great for any child. It teaches them that everybody is different and that each has their own abilities. It is a great book that my daughter and I enjoyed together.
A very cute children’s book that teaches children how to find and feel greatness in their lives. Priscida is an alley cat who is picked up by animal control and taken to the shelter where she is eventually given her name and adopted out. Through all her antics she comes to realize true greatness is in loving good people and being loved by them in return. What I enjoyed about this story was how Priscida looks for greatness in different ways and eventually comes to see the greatness in her own family. One thing I would have liked to see was more illustrations as I know when my kids were little they were drawn more to books that had bright and colorful drawings. Over all a good story to read to your children (age 2-6) or for a teacher to read to their class.
Priscida is a simple but smart alley cat who learns about greatness. Some of her events are based on real events. You can decide which ones are real! Enjoy Priscida Finds Greatness and see greatness in yourself and in others. Her story is based on the Lao Tzu saying, “Great acts are made up of small deeds”. It is hoped that the reader will learn and apply this while seeing through the eyes of this whimsical cat. Priscida comes to realize she is great and there are great people around her. If you read it out loud, pretend you are Priscida! Mimic her expressions and posture. Make the noises she would make. Make a personal greatness list and post it where you can see it every day. Practice daily affirmation by saying “I am great. Go be great today”. Most of all, persevere and see greatness in little acts.

With Prescida Finds Greatness, Constance is launching a career writing and illustrating meaningful stories for children which teach a life lesson. Each story will introduce a special word and an affirmation which reinforces that lesson. Her hope is for you and your family to enjoy this book about defining greatness in each person, how to achieve it and embracing your greatness.
This is a wonderful story of a young boy, Lucas, who starts to question the existence of Santa Clause. This book is perfect for 7-10 year olds, when they start to ask those tough questions about the magic of Christmas. My boys aren’t quite old enough yet, but I will be holding on to this book for the next year or 2 when my oldest gets curious. This book also hit home with me, to guard the dream and keep the spirit of Christmas alive. “There will always be a Santa Clause as long as children believe, and people like you guard the dream.”

I loved this children’s holiday story. The illustrations brought the story to life and are bright and colorful. They are interactive and tell the story. This is a story about believing in Santa and getting to the age where you start questioning if there really is a Santa. A story about Lucas and how some of his friends no longer believe. But as they learn there are choices and what they choose will change things for them. This is a great Christmas book for any child. I highly recommend this book.

This was a cute and quick little kids book. I would say around ages 0-4 would probably enjoy it. I read it to a little one and they liked the pictures a lot. The colors were bright and inviting, it taught some counting and most of all that even when things aren’t perfect there are blessings all around.

This was a pretty good children’s holiday book. The book provides a great way of answering the question that all kids ask “Is there really a Santa?”. This is probably a question that all parents dread one day, feeling once they ask the magic of Christmas may be lost. However, the book answers the question in a magical way by explaining the spirit of Christmas and the idea of Santa, rather than just saying nope no Santa. In the book, the young child took that message and kept the dream alive for all the believers out there. While I did think there could have been more said or pondered about by the kid who acquired this new found information, I believed that it provided a great message of how to give kids the truth they are seeking, without causing “loss”.
