Toby Belfer Never Had a Christmas Tree

by Gloria Teles Pushker

Book Overview

Toby Belfer never had a Christmas tree. Hers
was the only Jewish family in the little country town where she lived with her
parents and grandmother. The Belfers celebrated Hanukka-they didn't celebrate
Christmas like the rest of the families in town. Toby invited all of her
friends to join in her family's Hanukkah celebration, just as she joined in
theirs by trimming their Christmas trees and singing Christmas carols.

Customer Reviews

This book has lots of memories for me!

When i was in college in new orleans, i had the pleasure of being Ms. Pusker's student in her children's literature class. that was the first time i was ever introduced to the Belfers, and even though i am not jewish, i intend to share this book with my daughter. i know that these books are a modern version for the life that Ms. Pushker led in southern louisiana, so that makes them even more special! Read them, they are really good!
