Candlelight for Rebecca
What's This Book About
Rebecca’s teacher assigns the class to make Christmas decorations–but Rebecca’s family is Jewish and doesn’t celebrate Christmas. Her teacher tells her that Christmas is a national holiday, for all Americans to celebrate. Although her parents came from Russia, Rebecca knows she’s as American as anyone else, even without celebrating Christmas. Could her teacher be wrong? If Rebecca does the project, her family is sure to be upset; if she doesn’t, her teacher will be displeased. Then, on the first night of Hanukkah, Rebecca finds kindness in an unexpected place–and learns the real meaning of the holiday season.
