Reviews

AJL Newsletter

“Nonna is the perfect loving grandmother that everyone would hope to have, and Rachel’s parents are beautifully sensitive to her emotional needs. Lovely and softly colorful stylized paintings perfectly illustrate the story.” — AJL Newletter

Booklist

“References to King Antiochus, panettone, lasagna, and latkes are seamlessly woven into the story, and young readers will readily absorb new information along with affirmations of tolerance and acceptance. Illustrations in muted warm colors create a cozy feel and help make this a lovely addition to the holiday canon.” — Booklist

School Library Journal
