Dear Santa, Love, Rachel Rosenstein + Giveaway
Our kids love to read! I personally love picture books and love to read them, especially to our youngest kids. The holidays are one of my favorite times of year to read picture books to our kids, because they have amazing pictures and inspiring stories. I just recently discovered a great picture book that is now available online and in stores and is entitled, Dear Santa, Love, Rachel Rosenstein. Dear Santa, Love, Rachel Rosenstein was written by Amanda Peet and Andrea Troyer and illustrated by Christine Davenier. It was released on October 20th and is ideal for children ages 3-7.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Actress Amanda Peet brings us a hilarious holiday drama in a story that every Jewish family will relate to and appreciate.
Rachel Rosenstein wonders why Santa Claus never visits her house. But this year is going to be different–even though her family is Jewish and doesn’t observe Christmas. With hilarious and heartwarming mishaps, Rachel visitsSanta at the mall with her special request, writes a letter to Santa explaining her cause, and clandestinely decorates the house on Christmas Eve (right down to latkes for the reindeer). And while Rachel may wrestle with her culture, customs, and love of sparkly Christmas ornaments, she also comes away with a brighter understanding of her own identity and of the gift of friends and family.
