Sinterklaas

by Kathy Dobson

A doll lost at sea befriends wild but generous creatures. With a little magic and a lot of spirit, the doll and his friends journey to find a home. A charming tribute to the annual winter celebration that takes place in Rhinebeck, New York, Sinterklaas is about finding joy in our journeys. It celebrates our communities and the traditions - new and old - that unite us.
