I spotted a menorah on the cover and grabbed this for #ISpyBingo, not noticing at the time what an unusual menorah it is. This is a delightful multicultural story about a girl visiting her aunt Luisa, who comes from Mexico. Isobel not only learns some new Sephardic Hanukkah customs, but also about her aunt's creativity and love for animals and nature. I would have loved to read this to my kid when she was little.

4.5 ⭐Every generation needs a parent trap. Let it glow is a new take on the parent trap without trapping parent. We have two young girls, one whose grandmother lives at an assisted living facility and another whose grandfather is looking at living in the assisted living facility. They are both adopted. They are both 12 years old. And they meet for the first time at the assisted living facility and go you have my face.

LibrarianRyan You have my birthday. We must be twins. But how. These twins, both unique yet with some similarities a a plan to revealed to both their parents that hey there was a mistake when we were born. They‘re gonna reveal this at the play put on at the assisted living facility. In great parent trap fashion eventually the two do switch houses and nobody knows except for a young brother. This book was just fun. It is a holiday book which is why it‘s called 11mo

LibrarianRyan Let it glow. One of our girls is trying to find her belief in Hanukkah. She was raised Jewish, but doesn‘t really feel Jewish and that is what she wants to gain this holiday season. The other sister Was raised with Christmas and Christmas tree trees. So switching they get to experience the other side. There‘s no other word for this besides Q. This book is cute from page one to the last. It‘s being read or it‘s being listened to. This is a book for 11mo

LibrarianRyan The entire family 11mo
