A Story for Chanukah and Christmas

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

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)
