Jeremy Tugeau.
Jacob's autistic brother Nathan sometimes embarrasses and exasperates him (like when Nathan blows out the Hanukkah candles). However, Jacob stands up for his brother when a neighbor makes fun of him. The story is message-y; an unfortunate typo ("you're brother") is included. Textured illustrations reflect the tale's holiday-themed warmth.
