Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Emma helps her father light the menorah at Hanukkah and decorates the tree with her mother at Christmas. "Families who embrace both holidays will find this a welcome addition," PW said. Ages 5-7. (Oct.)
Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Booklist
Ages 5-8. Interfaith families and families that aren't religious crave materials that validate the observance of holidays from the traditions of different faiths. In one of a very few such picture books, Moorman focuses on a household's joyous celebrations of Hanukkah and Christmas, two festivals that frequently occur close together on the wintertime calendar. The book's title reflects a motif common to both: candles in a menorah glow brightly in Emma's house during the eight days of the Jewish holiday; later, lights shimmer beautifully from her family's Christmas tree. The family's celebrations are purely secular, and Emma's response to everything--be it getting presents or playing dreidel--is sheer delight, which Moorman captures nicely in her bright, unpretentious paintings. The story, however, is very slight, and there's no sense of the origins of the holidays, which are very different. Had Moorman supplied some background--perhaps in an afterword--her book would have been richer. Stephanie Zvirin --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
