The holidays are here and Sophie and her family are preparing for the festivities. Her good friend Tommy and his family are also getting ready for the holidays. When Tommy and his family are invited to Sophie's house for a party, Tommy realizes that while some traditions are similar to those of Sophie’s family, Sophie and her family also celebrate Hanukkah. Tommy learns all about Hanukkah and the traditions.
Eight Candles and a Tree by Simone Bloom Nathan with illustrations
by Brian Barber tells a great story about how different families celebrate the
holidays. This great story also
teaches children about religiously mixed families and is a great overview of some
of the traditions celebrated on Christmas and Hanukkah. This is a great read aloud during the holiday
season. Great read for children
pre-kinder – 2nd grade.
