(4) K-3 Illustrated by Martha Avilés. Rachel is nervous about celebrating Hanukkah with her non-Jewish relatives, especially when she leaves her special menorah behind on the airplane. But when she tells her Italian grandmother the story of Hanukkah, Nonna fixes everything and helps create new holiday traditions. Though the text mentions Christmas several times, the bright and cheery pastel-colored illustrations depict only the Hanukkah celebration.
