For anyone who's ever asked "Why can't we have a Christmas tree?" comes a lighthearted story about being Jewish during the holiday seasonâby actress Amanda Peet!
Rachel Rosenstein is determined to celebrate Christmas this yearâand the fact that her family is Jewish is not going to stop her. In a series of hilarious and heartwarming mishaps, Rachel writes a letter to Santa explaining her cause, pays him a visit at the mall, and covertly decorates her house on Christmas Eve (right down to latkes for Santa and his reindeer). And while Rachel may wrestle with her culture, customs, and love of sparkly Christmas ornaments, she also comes away with a brighter understanding of her own identity and of the gift of friends and family.
Inspired by actress Amanda Peet's experience with her own children, Dear Santa, Love, Rachel Rosenstein is sure to be a new holiday classic!
"Will help introduce young readers to other cultures while allowing them to preserve the magic of their own."âBooklist
"Actress Peet and her friend/coauthor Troyer, both newcomers to childrenâs books, handle Rachelâs obsession and her familyâs strong sense of religious identity with equal empathy and humor."âPublishers Weekly
"Thereâs lots of humor in the text and in the lively, scribbly, colorful illustrations. But the authors wisely donât gloss over Rachelâs feelingsâwhich can be common for anyone who doesnât celebrate Christmas that time of year, a notion that steers the text toward a happy, multi-culti ending."âThe Horn Book
