(2) K-3 Illustrated by Christine Davenier. When Rachel Rosenstein's pleas for twinkly lights and a tree go unheeded in her Jewish household, Rachel takes matters into her own hands. There's humor in the text and in the lively, scribbly illustrations. But the authors don't gloss over Rachel's feelings--which can be common for anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas, a notion that steers the text toward a happy, multi-culti ending.
