Reviews

Starred Review Booklist

“In evocative prose, Fishman not only explains the holiday but also captures the joyous mood that infuses it, linking the day with the traditions of yesteryear.”
— Booklist

School Library Journal

“The lovely, muted pastel illustrations are an excellent accompaniment to the lyrical text. There is a scarcity of children’s books dealing with these two celebrations, so it is a pleasure to see such a fine one.”
— School Library Journal

Publishers Weekly

“The text’s reverent, friendly tone and the warmly hued mixed-media collographs distinguish this from similar holiday fare.”
— Publishers Weekly
