"Even in bad times, people can be good.
It is both the seventh day of Hanukkah & Christmas Eve, 1938. Oskar, a refugee from the horrors of Nazi Europe, arrives by ship in New York City with only a photograph & an address for an aunt he's never met. As he walks the length of Manhattan, from the Battery to his aunt's home uptown, he encounters the sights of the city at holiday time - & receives small acts of kindness from its people, each in its way welcoming him to the city & a life in the new world.
Vividly capturing the atmosphere of New York, & referencing events that took place in the city in 1938, this timeless & heartwarming tale from award-winning authors Richard & Tanya Simon & bestselling illustrator Mark Siegel celebrates the power of new beginnings & the uplifting spirit of the holiday season."

A hardcover story book with dust jacket for the holiday season, written by Richard & Tanya Simon & illustrated by Mark Siegel.
