MORE PAGES FROM THE RED SUIT DIARIES

Released October 2008

Wow! Ed Butchart's book made me snicker at times, cry at times and feel completely thankful for all I have! This real-life Santa shares stories from his work as both Santa and as founder of Friends of Disabled Adults and Children. If you've never heard of this organization, I hadn't either, but they refurbish wheelchairs and other medical equipment to give to those who need it most. http://www.fodac.org/

MORE PAGES FROM THE RED SUIT DIARIES delves into Ed's own grief period after his wife died and the friends who helped him through it. I can't think of any story within the book that didn't make me feel some range of emotions, they were all exceptional and beautifully written.

I plan to purchase Mr. Butchart's first book and hope he continues sharing his stories for years to come. Take time during this holiday season to share these stories with your own children. I think they capture the true meaning of giving in a lively, touching manner.l
