Who doesn't love Santa Claus? From award-winning photographer Ron Cooper comes a beautifully curated collection of fifty professional Santas from across the country. We Are Santa is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of those who slip into the red suit to spread Christmas cheer. Before and after portraits, behind-the-scenes stories of custom made costumes and specialized training, and surprising anecdotes of on-the-job encounters bring these Santas to life. Just as Humans of New York captures the lives of everyday people, We Are Santa celebrates the humanity of everyday Santas. From a third-generation Kris Kringle to an Orthodox Jew who has been playing Santa for fifty years, Cooper's portraits are a testament to the holiday spirit. When Santa Mike, a Navy veteran and aircraft mechanic, meets a six-year-old girl with a prosthetic hand just like his own, he says, "Her eyes got big, and she threw her arms around my neck. It was the highlight of my season. That's why I’m Santa."

The adventure can be the smallest, the bravest, the most skillful and the most cunning, but together we can find the solution to the puzzle, the secret can be revealed, the most crooked mouth can be drawn into a smile, thus drifting off to sleep. Most of the time, adults tell stories to children, even though fairy tales are the terrain of children's soul and imagination, but in today's world, adults also need fairy tales more and more to find themselves. This Christmas storybook, which is about love, is a possibility. Love is the greatest gift we can give and receive.
