Let's Be Friends

On a snowy morning in Brooklyn, James and Sally meet the children who have just moved in next door, Tovah and Esair. Peering through a window, the two notice a menorah where a Christmas tree might be expected, and they start to puzzle over the difference. As the four children spend time together, they find that learning about each other's holiday customs is enjoyable. The book compares Christmas with Hanukkah and shows young readers that curiosity about other people can grow into friendships that last.
