ASHTABULA, Ohio. — Author Andrea Baker announces the release of her new book “Benji’s Christmas Letter” under Tate Publishing and Enterprises, LLC.

“Benji’s Christmas Letter” tells the story of a boy who worries about his father fighting a war on the other side of the globe and decides to ask Santa—believing he has an inside track to Jesus—for the best Christmas gift he could ever hope for. Though most people are familiar with the sacrifices that soldiers make, Baker asks readers to remember the children left behind—children who often do not understand where their parents are or what they are doing.

Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book is available through bookstores nationwide, from the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore, or by visiting barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

Baker has been a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators for the past three years. The events in her life triggered her to write this novel with the hope of comforting children whose parents are away from home on Christmas, especially those whose parents serve in the army.
