(2) K-3 Illustrated by Nadia Alam. A house waits with anticipation for its new family to move in, envious of other houses' decorations for Christmas, plus Diwali and Hanukkah. But Huda's family doesn't put up Christmas lights when they arrive, and the house is a little disappointed. Gradually House grows to love the family, comforting and protecting them, and is content waiting until the family decorates for Eid. "A few months later, on a warm night under a new crescent moon, House TWINKLED." Soft illustrations feature a joyful Muslim family and welcoming neighbors in a gentle celebration of religious diversity.
