In this heartwarming tale inspired by her childhood, superstar chef and TV host Carla Hall shares the story of young Carla, who eats a sugar cookie meant for Santa on the night before Christmas and tries to make things right. Christmas is Carla' s favorite holiday of the year. She goes to her grandparents' house and eats grandma' s special recipe-a perfectly delicious cornbread. She listens to her grandpa Doc' s marvelous stories about traveling the world. And, best of all, she spends lots of time with her family. But when Carla accidentally takes a bite out of Santa' s sugar cookie, she thinks she' s ruined Christmas. How will Santa know to stop at their house if they don' t leave him a midnight snack? With her grandmother' s help, Carla comes up with a plan, but will it be enough to save Christmas?
"With expressive illustrations that set the story in the early 1970s and evoke the Christmas mood in the context of a loving Black family, this tale reminds readers that love and good intentions can almost always save the day. Readers will be eager to try out the cornbread recipe included in the endmatter. . . [h]eartwarming and cozy. " -- Kirkus Reviews
