“The verse and illustrations work well together, depicting the relatives as they gather to light the candles, share traditional foods and games, and enjoy the pleasure of one another’s company.” —Booklist
This collection of brief, playful poems is likely to inspire countless religious school holiday pageants . . . [A] tender portrayal of a close-knit extended family caught up in holiday excitement.” —Publishers Weekly
