Every Other Christmas is a beautifully illustrated picture book that captures the warmth and joy of celebrating Christmas in two unique cultural traditions. Designed for children aged 4-8, this engaging story follows a young biracial boy who navigates his Christmas celebrations between his African American mother and Colombian father. Every other Christmas, he enjoys special moments with his family that bring to life the rich traditions of both cultures.
In Illinois, he crafts holiday decorations with his cousins, hangs handmade ornaments on a beautifully adorned tree, and cherishes the warmth of family gatherings. Christmas Eve is filled with joy as they sing 'Silent Night' together, emphasizing the bond of love that overarches the festive season.
On the other hand, his Colombian Christmas is an adventure filled with unique traditions. From decorating Abuela's tree with dazzling ornaments to enjoying a festive feast of arroz con pollo and Abuela’s delightful cinnamon hot chocolate, every moment is an exploration of love and connection. As fireworks light up the skies, the family sings 'Noche de Paz' at Christmas mass, embracing the magic of the holiday.
Every Other Christmas intricately illustrates how love and family can bridge cultural divides, making it a perfect addition to your child’s holiday book collection. This heartwarming tale not only celebrates diversity but also highlights the importance of cherishing moments with loved ones during the holiday season. Ideal as a Christmas gift or a cozy read, this picture book is set to become a cherished holiday classic for years to come!
