this book is a great book that explains the Jewish Culture and their traditions around Christmas. It tells about how even though Toby did not have a Christmas tree, she still learns to make friends and do their Christmas traditions with them and them be included in hers. (

This book is about a young girl who was lived in a town and they were the only Jews that lives there. Toby had lots of friends and they would all come over and play at her house. During the Christmas season she would go to their houses to trim the tree and she learned all about Christmas. One evening she invited all her friends to come over for dinner. She taught them all about the Jewish religion. This book teaches children about different cultures and its okay we don't all have the same culture. (
