pickAnother #hanukkah and Christmas story! I REALLY enjoyed it!! It's about a holiday misunderstanding, learning and creating bonds between different cultures, and baseball 😊😊😊 It has some great nuggets of wisdom #tmskellington #wintergames #holidayread

pickJackie Robinson‘s daughter writes the true story of how well-meaning Robinson bought a Christmas tree for his Jewish neighbors.
My elementary-age kids thoroughly enjoyed this sweet story of kind intentions and the joy of holidays.

In 1948 Steve, neighbor boy and BIG fan, tells Jackie Robinson his family doesn‘t have an Xmas tree. Jackie wants to make Steve‘s season bright by delivering one to his home. What Jackie doesn‘t know, is that Steve‘s family is Jewish and don‘t celebrate Xmas. But the gift is kindly accepted with humor & the spirit intended. Steve is excited to have both a 🕎 & a 🌲for Hanukkah. 😄 True story written by Jackie‘s daughter.
