The Elves' Revolution
Angelo Mozzillo, Davide Panizza
Who Said Santa Isn’t Real?
Christmas
A girl who doesn’t believe. A sleigh that won’t fly. A Christmas that’s falling apart.
You don’t exist. Those are the shocking words Santa Claus reads in one of the many letters he’s received this year. But that can’t be true—he’s right there, in the flesh! So Santa invites the girl who wrote the letter to visit his village, his reindeer sleigh, and the gift factory. But she won’t budge: it’s all fake! Little by little, everything begins to disappear… Will Santa be able to save his village, himself, and the magic he brings every December 25th?
- Lush, expressive illustrations by Giada Carboni capture both the warmth of Christmas and the eerie beauty of a world without magic.
- A high-stakes story with cinematic imagery — vanishing reindeer, collapsing toys, a fading North Pole.
