The story follows young Leo, a thoughtful and imaginative boy, as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure with Shenlong Claus, the Dragon Santa. Together, they cross the mysterious Frost Fog, confront the shadowy Krampus, and discover the true meaning of Christmas through the Three Lights: Warmth, Welcome, and Wonder. The chapters mirror the progression of a magical Christmas Eve. Leo’s determination to bring light and warmth to his family and community is inspiring, while Shenlong Claus embodies the wisdom and magic of the season. Grandma’s gentle guidance and the loving support of Leo’s parents highlight the importance of family bonds and shared moments.
The story is well-paced, and the inclusion of small, meaningful details adds charm. LJL’s storytelling is enchanting, and the narrative is full of vivid imagery. The author’s ability to create a cozy, magical atmosphere is evident in every chapter, and the graphite illustrations add a nostalgic touch of Christmas.
