This delightful book teaches children and parents about celebrating different religions in a blended family. It's well-written and should be easy for most kids to read themselves. However, if you are reading it with the kids, you can open all sorts of interesting conversations. You can never be sure what children are thinking about a situation if you don't talk it out.
The illustrations by Bryan Langdo add lots of depth to the tale. The book closes with recipes from Michael for his Christmas Cookies and Anna's Latke recipe, so you can try making both treats in your own kitchen to learn even more about different traditions.
I received a copy of the book from the author. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.

In this book, a girl tries to think up some sort of fun Hanukkah treat for Santa. It's her first year celebrating Christmas with her stepdad and stepbrother, and she thinks Santa must be tired of cookies all the time. Adorable! Plus the back has recipes for sugar cookies and latkes!
