Robinson, Sharon Jackie’s Gift, illustrated by E.B. Lewis. Viking (Penguin), 2010. $16.99. When a young boy down the street tells Jackie Robinson that his family doesn’t have a Christmas tree, Jackie takes matters into his own hands to make sure that they have a good Christmas – not realizing that the family is Jewish. Robinson does a sweet job of retelling this true story from her father’s life and Lewis’ illustrations are the perfect accompaniment. What a great way to talk about different customs with children.
