A Story for Chanukah and Christmas


Written by Michael J. Rosen & illustrated by Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson


Michael and Elijah are friends, but when Elijah gives Michael one of his special carved angels, Michael doesn’t know what to do. How can he possibly take home a Christmas angel, a forbidden graven image- especially on Chanukah? This story is based on the author's childhood experience with woodcarver Elijah Pierce, an African-American barber who lived in Columbus, Ohio. 32 pages


"Rosen... seamlessly integrates Michael's compunctions and Elijah's reverence and generosity into a warmhearted narrative, while the debuting Robinson's vibrant oils recall the lively animation of Jacob Lawrence, her flat, stylized forms freely outlined in black. A fine tribute to an intriguing character; an interfaith story with true respect for both faiths." -Kirkus Reviews (Ages 5-10)
