David Knoll

David Knoll is a storyteller who honed his skills at Camp Sequoia in the Catskills Mountains of New York. David has entertained thousands of children throughout the years with a variety of his original stories. When he finally put his words to paper to create “Santa’s Kid of the Year”, he used his beloved children, Jennifer and Joseph, as the two main characters. The third main character was the inspiration for this story. He was a close friend who has since passed. His nickname growing up was Kicky, and he was bullied and teased as a youngster. In this book David uses Santa and the Christmas season to inspire children to be nice and kind. He believes that teaching our youth the foundation of kindness, respect and strength leads to a better and happier world.

David lives in New York with his wife and son. His daughter, son- in- law, and grandson live a short distance away, for family sharing and caring is how they live. “Christmas has always been a loving family holiday season,” says David. “It truly is the most wonderful time of the year.”
