Light the Lights!, Margaret Moorman
This is a charming little picture book about a little girl whose family celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas. The illustrations show her celebrating Hanukkah with her father initiating the celebration, and then Christmas with her mother doing so. The story emphasizes the commonalities of the two celebrations: special food, lights, family visiting, but doesn't really explain a lot about either of them, just simply showing the happy celebrations in the home. It's a sweet little book showing how a religously mixed family handles the two separate holidays, but if you wish to learn about Hanukkah's origins (or Christmas's, for that matter), this isn't the book.
