Oy, Santa!: Or, There's a Latke to Learn about Hanukkah

Oliver Overstreet tries to get Santa to understand how special Hanukkah is! While Santa understands some thingsÑlike that Oliver's friend Ibrahim also doesn't celebrate ChristmasÑOliver loses patience when Santa doesn't fully grasp Hanukkah customs. Especially latkes! Eventually Oliver lands on Santa's Naughty List. Helping people understand his traditions is a never-ending job.This book was written for readers of all faiths in response to the mistaken idea that Jewish children are somehow deprived by not having Christmas in their lives. Told through email correspondence, Oy, Santa! is about pride, tenacity, and the importance of keeping one's zealousness in check.
