Illustrated by
Diane deGroat.
Hanukkah is a negligible holiday in Marla Feinstein's very-secular family. In the believable voice of a disgruntled fourth grader, Marla determines to make some changes; she rails, "If we can't have Christmas because we're so Jewish... then let's at least be Jewish." DeGroat's background illustrations show friends and family in sweet closeness in this gentle and funny holiday story.
