A Chanukah Noel: A True Story

24 pp. | Second Story | September, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-897187-74-6 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gillian Newland. Intrigued by the Christmas preparations in her new French town, Charlotte wants to participate--but learns that her family will observe Chanukah instead. Bringing presents and food to a poor classmate, however, Charlotte gets the best of "Christmas and Chanukah together." The text is a little wordy and the muted illustrations somewhat dreary for an otherwise optimistic tale of compassion and celebration.
Reviewer: Rachel L. Smith
