Bøker av David O'Boyle

Santa's workshop gets all the credit...It shouldn't. The North Pole is the focal point for all things Christmas...It isn't. Elves act alone in the production and distribution of Christmas presents...They don't. Another creature plays a key role in the process...Giants. And those giants are fed up with how they've been treated. Until this treatment changes, the elves must either compromise or hire other staff capable of making presents. Ogres anyone? Trolls? Read on. The gifts you want under your tree depend on it. David O'Boyle is the author of children's books, novels, and short stories. Illustrator Tan Ngo specializes in concept art for various media. David and Tan have worked together on multiple children's books before. Notably, this is their second holiday book. Before Giants, they celebrated St. Patrick's Day with The Leprechaun Who Wore Other Hats.

When in trouble, call for help. Friends far and near will answer. And when they do, the best of them will advise that your light is within, even if you're a lighthouse. Trust them- they know. They know because in earlier days, when the tables were turned, they received the same advice from you.

Jake likes the back of the classroom. Amongst desks, diverse faces and decorated walls, he can blend in, at least on most days. But today is not most days. Today is presentation day, and on presentation day, even the frightened face the spotlight. Those like Jake, who are not only shy, but have something to hide, proceed with caution. The slightest misstep could reveal big secrets. For Jake, that big secret is his fin, which he tapes down beneath his shirt to avoid embarrassment. Yet despite the planning, missteps occur, and when they do, Jake must stand small or stand tall. By standing tall, he learns that confronting your insecurities shapes you more than a fin ever could. It also inspires others.
