On a block dressed up in Red and Greenone house shone Blue and White. It's a holiday season that both Isaac, whose family is Jewish, and Teresa, whose family is Christian, have looked forward to for months! They've been counting the days, playing in the snow, making cookies, drawing (Teresa) and writing poems (Isaac). They enjoy all the things they share, as well as the things that make them different. But when Isaac's window is smashed in the middle of the night, it seems like maybe not everyone appreciates "difference."Inspired by a true story, this is a tale of a community that banded together to spread light.

? "Wind''s lightly fictionalized version of the 1993 incident wherein a community stood up to bigotry . . . is conveyed with lyrical simplicity. The visual treatment here is particularly strikingCaldecott Medalist Zelinsky''s vibrant digital art has bold, rough-hewn textures of scratch block, and dramatic compositions . . . .[A] moving historical tale that encourages taking a stand." Publishers Weekly, starred review
? "Zelinsky has covered every page with bright colors, with optional text that dances through the pictures and occasional vignettes that add detail and movement to the story. This is a strong addition to holiday stories, one that can be reread and rediscovered many times and whose theme of community support and friendship is appropriate year-round." School Library Connection, starred review
"[A] quiet, uplifting tale. . . . Readers will feel heartened at children''s power to influence others to stand up for justice and defeat vile prejudice. . . . The true meaning of the holiday season shines here." Kirkus Reviews
