Description
Join us for a very special book launch of Joyce Schriebman's Oy, Santa!: Or, There's a Latke to Learn about Hanukkah. Registration is suggested due to space.
About the book:
Even though Santa knows some things--like Oliver's friend Ibrahim also doesn't celebrate Christmas--Oliver loses patience when Santa doesn't fully appreciate Hanukkah customs. Especially latkes! Helping people understand Jewish traditions is a never-ending job!
This book is for readers of all faiths and responds to the mistaken idea that Jewish children are somehow disadvantaged by not celebrating Christmas. Told through email correspondence, Oy, Santa! is a story about identity, perseverance, and the importance of sharing one's traditions in a kind way.
