Every holiday season holds a quiet promise — one of warmth, kindness, and the belief that magic can be found in even the smallest of moments. For Paul Dunn, known lovingly throughout his Texas community as Wimberley’s Santa, that promise is more than a seasonal sentiment. It is a way of living, a reflection of a lifelong commitment to service, family, and the joy of lifting spirits. Now, with the release of his four-book collection titled Santa’s Magical Adventure Series, Paul brings that philosophy to life for children and families everywhere.
The beautifully illustrated series — The Christmas Wishing Coin, Cookies with Santa, Wimberley’s Santa and the Trail of Lights, and The Magic of Christmas All Year Long — celebrates the timeless values Paul cherishes: believing in goodness, choosing kindness, building community, and keeping the magic of Christmas alive in our hearts every day of the year. Rooted in the warmth of real stories, shaped by Paul’s decades of service in human services, and inspired by the countless families he has touched as Santa, these books offer more than entertainment; they offer a way of seeing the world.
A Life of Service, Family, and Community
Born in Belfast, Great Britain, and shaped by Irish, Canadian, and American roots, Paul Dunn has lived a life enriched by culture, family, and heartfelt dedication to others. His professional life spans decades in the field of human services — guiding, uplifting, and mentoring people from all walks of life. But beyond his work, Paul’s heart has always belonged to the people around him.
Married for more than 34 years and a proud father of three, grandfather of four, and great-grandfather of one, Paul understands the essence of family. It is this deep love — broad, gentle, and unwavering — that guides everything he creates. As Wimberley’s Santa, he has spent years cultivating moments of magic for children and families, becoming a beloved figure who embodies generosity, inclusion, and joy.
The transition from community Santa to children’s author was not a departure from his purpose but an expansion of it. Paul’s stories grew out of real experiences, real emotions, and real magic — the kind only Santa can share.
A Series Rooted in Universal Values
At its heart, Santa’s Magical Adventure Series is more than a holiday collection. It is a celebration of what makes communities strong — belief, connection, compassion, and shared joy. Designed for children ages 3 to 9, each story is carefully illustrated so that every child can see themselves in the characters. Representation was not an afterthought; it was a promise.
Together, the four books form a gentle tapestry of themes that resonate across cultures, ages, and backgrounds. They invite readers to reflect on what it means to care for one another — not just during the holidays but every day of the year.
BOOK 1 – The Christmas Wishing Coin
The opening book of the series introduces readers to the enchanting tradition of Santa’s Wishing Coins — tokens that capture the magic of hope, belief, and the power of selfless wishes. In this story, children are encouraged to wish not for themselves but for the joy and well-being of others. As these heartfelt wishes ripple through the town of Wimberley, readers witness the warmth that grows from kindness, generosity, and genuine community spirit.
This book is a gentle reminder that magic does not come from glitter or spectacle but from the hearts of those who believe in goodness.
BOOK 2 – Cookies with Santa
The second installment, Cookies with Santa, is a delightful celebration of teamwork, friendship, and holiday traditions. When Chef Rachel faces the overwhelming task of baking a mountain of cookies alone, the children of Wimberley rush in to help — followed closely by Santa himself. Together, they decorate gingerbread men, share laughter, and create memories as sweet as the cookies they bake.
More than a festive tale, this book highlights the beauty of coming together, offering a message that even the simplest moments can become treasured traditions when shared with others.
BOOK 3 – Wimberley’s Santa and the Trail of Lights
In this heartfelt story, the magic of Wimberley’s beloved Trail of Lights begins to fade. Santa, along with his elf Sparkle, must discover why the glow is dimming and how to reignite the spirit that once illuminated the town. Their journey reveals a simple but powerful truth: the true light of Christmas shines only when people share joy with one another.
This book is a thoughtful exploration of hope, belief, and community — a reminder that the brightness of the season comes from the hearts that embrace it.
BOOK 4 – The Magic of Christmas All Year Long
The final book of the series extends the Christmas message into every season. Whether spring blossoms or summer sunshine, Santa and the children show how warmth, kindness, and joy can be woven into everyday life. Christmas becomes not a date on the calendar but a feeling — one rooted in love, generosity, and simple acts that brighten the world.
This closing chapter ties together the themes of the series: that the magic we associate with Christmas is available to us all year long if we choose to carry it forward.
Themes That Touch the Heart
Across all four books, Paul Dunn champions values that are universal and deeply needed in today’s world. The stories emphasize inclusion — that every child belongs. They highlight kindness — that small gestures have great power. They celebrate belief — not only in Santa but in ourselves and in one another. And above all, they honor community — the idea that life becomes richer when shared with those we care about.
Early readers have responded with tremendous warmth. More than twenty Amazon reviews speak to the emotional impact of the stories, celebrating their gentle lessons, beautiful illustrations, and heartfelt messages.
Who These Books Are For
Designed primarily for children ages 3 to 9, the Santa’s Magical Adventure Series is equally meaningful for parents, grandparents, teachers, and caregivers who want to create positive, memorable reading experiences. These are books meant to be read aloud — stories that invite togetherness, reflection, and conversation.
Whether shared at bedtime, during holiday gatherings, or as part of a classroom community, they bring families closer and encourage children to express empathy and imagination.
Why This Series Matters

His stories honor the traditions of Christmas while offering something even more valuable — a blueprint for living with kindness, passion, and purpose, long after the decorations come down.
Santa’s Magical Adventure Series is more than a collection of books; it is an invitation.
An invitation to believe. An invitation to be kind. An invitation to feel the magic of community — every day.
