I really liked how this book has little random stories included in the main storyline such as the back stories of characters or another time something similar was said. This is a lot like how I talk/tell stories sometimes, so I liked that about it. I also liked how it tackles big questions about God, prayer, and being Jewish with a hopeful outlook. I also like how it is talks about "Winter hoilday" assemblies and activities that are more Christmas than winter hoilday because it is so true.
