Why do we spend so much time and effort creating a fairytale world for our children, just to take it away from them? Author Jeff Janke faced that dilemma three years ago when his daughter started questioning her belief in Santa Claus. Like most parents, he had two problems to solve--how to gently teach his child the true meaning of Christmas, and how to prevent her from spoiling the fairytale for other children. Out of this problem, Secret Santa Claus Club was born.



Secret Santa Claus Club is a beautifully illustrated story about a little girl thinking back on the magic of each Christmas. She remembers meeting Santa at the mall and seeing her first bike under the tree on Christmas morning. As time goes on, she starts to wonder if it's all real. When she decides she's ready to know the truth--her parents help guide her to the true meaning of the holiday.

Secret Santa Claus Club was written to be a tool for parents during these challenging moments. Combined with love, patience, and compassion, SSCC will help transition the reader from believing to becoming. At the end of the story, your child will be invited to join Secret Santa Claus Club. They'll understand the importance of keeping the secret, creating the magic for believers, and helping other members of the club.

About the Author

My name is Jeff Janke and I am the proud father to an amazing 12-year-old girl named River. I kind of fell into this world of children's books. I don't consider myself an author, I'm simply a dad, and just like all parents, I'm eager to be the absolute best. I want to provide the happiest childhood possible, filled with magic and wonder, but I'm faced with decisions that challenge me constantly.A few years ago, River's mom called me in a slight panic. River was hearing from other kids that Santa wasn't real. This presented an instant problem--one I had feared for years. Luckily, River still wanted to believe, so that bought us 12 months to come up with a solution. Out of necessity, I wrote a special book for River. And thanks to encouragement from other parents, I've started the author journey and am fumbling my way through publishing Secret Santa Claus Club myself. Being a single father, I look for every opportunity to spend with my little girl. Together we enjoy playing all sorts of sports and making healthy, homemade treats in the kitchen. A few years ago River started playing in a roller hockey league, and I get to be one of her coaches! I'm constantly working on self-improvement, staying healthy and being positive. I do my best to be a strong and consistent role model for other people, especially my River!

I've always loved drawing. In elementary school, I remember being sent out in the hall with my desk having been caught drawing instead of paying attention. So it was natural for me to pursue a career as an illustrator. I am grateful that I have been able to make a living doing what I love.I graduated from Carnegie-Mellon University, with a BFA in illustration. Just two years later, I found my dream job as a staff illustrator at Eucalyptus Tree Studios in Baltimore, Md. Working alongside accomplished illustrators at Eucalyptus Tree, I learned the value of versatility.Over the last 20 years as a freelance illustrator, my flexibility and versatility have kept my illustrations current in today's ever changing market. My goal in every assignment is to work closely with the designer/art director to come up with a conceptually strong and well designed illustration. I have worked for a wide range of client needs including logos, icons, package design, editorial, corporate, portraits, event posters, and web graphics. My styles and techniques include graphic, scratch board, airbrush, woodcut, pastel, paintings, watercolor, pencil, and pen and ink. My work has been accepted into Print magazine, the Society of Illustrators Annual, and the Washington DC. Illustrators Club Exhibit.

I kind of fell into this world of children’s books. I don’t consider myself an author, I’m simply a dad, and just like all parents, I’m eager to be the absolute best. I want to provide the happiest childhood possible, filled with magic and wonder, but I’m faced with decisions that challenge me constantly.

A few years ago, River’s mom called me in a slight panic. River was hearing from other kids that Santa wasn’t real. This presented an instant problem--one I had feared for years. Luckily, River still wanted to believe, so that bought us 12 months to come up with a solution. Out of necessity, I wrote a special book for River. And thanks to encouragement from other parents, I’ve started the author journey and am fumbling my way through publishing Secret Santa Claus Club myself.

Being a single father, I look for every opportunity to spend with my little girl. Together we enjoy playing all sorts of sports and making healthy, homemade treats in the kitchen. A few years ago River started playing in a roller hockey league, and I get to be one of her coaches!

I try to continually follow my dreams and passions—and there’s a lot of them. By day I’m a manager at a mortgage company, at night I’m spending as much time as I can with River, and on the weekends I’m traveling all over the western states as a wedding photographer. In my free time (if there is any) I enjoy playing drums, tossing a football, riding jet skis and writing scripts for fun--I even made a movie!

I’m constantly working on self-improvement, staying healthy and being positive. I do my best to be a strong and consistent role model for other people, especially my River!

A Christmas blessing
This package was the gift that stressed me out for the 2023 holiday season. The past few years felt like the true meaning of Christmas has been forgotten. I wanted a book that would reveal the truth behind Santa and what Christmas is truly about that I would read to my 10 year old on Christmas Eve. When I first ordered the book it said it would arrive right before Christmas. Then it said it was delayed until after Christmas. I went to Barns and Noble looking for the same book, they told me it’s a book that needs to be printed by order. I gave up hope and bought a different book (Dasher, great book!) we read it on Christmas Eve. The next morning, we exchange gifts and my daughter opens her present and stocking from Santa. (Pretty sure she knows the truth, but wants to play along) and I think, “well that it’s for this year.” As I throw out the trash from unwrapping, I see a package on my doorstep and think… “on Christmas Day??” I open it outside…and there it is. A FRESHLY printed copy of the SSCC book. We read the book Christmas night after gifts were opened. It was worth the wait. We cried, hugged, talked about our memories. And most importantly understood the true meaning of Christmas and why we keep Santa alive. If your hesitant. Don’t be. Buy the book.

    My daughter found out about Santa last year and I wish I had this book ready to help break the news. We read the story together as soon as I got the book, and she loves the idea of joining "the club". She actually wants to start a real club with some of her school friends (who also know the secret) and volunteer around town.

    The rules at the back of the book were one of her favorite things. (She's at that age where she's showing interest being a grown-up and loves responsibility.) And after reading Secret Santa Claus Club, she seems to appreciate all the work my husband and I put into "becoming" Santa just for her all those years.

    Overall, I really think this book added to her experience and will enhance our holiday traditions. (And her wanting to start a real club to volunteer with friends is priceless.) I recommend using Secret Santa Claus Club to help break the news to any child. Or if your kid knows already, like mine did, it can help put the strange idea of "becoming" Santa into perspective. There's some emphasis on keeping the secret from other believers (and helping spread the magic), which I really appreciate. Very glad I purchased.

    I'd like to mention that I hesitated a little to get this book (because of price point) but I'm so glad I pulled the trigger. The quality is excellent. The cover has a matte look and feels velvety, and the illustrations are gorgeous. The photo on Amazon doesn't do the quality justice, so I uploaded a few so you can see the illustrations inside the book. But most importantly, the story is really sweet.

    The book and story line are beautiful and well written. This would be so helpful in talking to my kids about Santa, but the book I received seems to be missing some pages. In the description it states there are 38 pages. The book I received was only 20 and this was the last page. Not sure why there is a quality control issue but I’ll be returning. Anyone else have this as their last page?

    I bought this book because I know this conversation is going to be happening with my oldest soon. I was looking for a way to explain Santa that still kept the magic alive. This book is perfect! I have not read it to my oldest but I did read it myself and it made me cry. Great Job writing this book!

    After reading Secret Santa Claus Club: A Tool to Help Parents Unwrap the Secret of Santa, I wished I'd had this book when my kids were young. They're both in their 20's now but this book would have come in handy. If you purchase this book, make sure you keep it far away from your little ones that still believe in Santa. You don't want to spoil the magic too soon.

    I remember how hard it was to decide how to exactly tell my own children about the "secret" concerning Santa. Personally, I wanted to keep the magic alive as long as possible. This short book has the perfect story following one little girl and her many Christmas days growing up year after year. It eventually gets to the time when she's 11 or 12. Her parents then tell her about the Secret Santa Claus Club which they eventually ask the older child to join.

    The pictures in this book are so beautiful and the story is short but sweet. I know that this book will become a classic to help parents as they "Unwrap" the secrets of Santa with older children.
