Michael and Elijah are friends, but when Elijah gives Michael one of his special carved angels, Michael doesn't know what to do. How can he possibly take home a Christmas angel, a forbidden graven image—especially on Chanukah? "A strikingly illustrated story that tenderly bridges the boundaries of age, race, and religion."—American Bookseller
