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.

Industry Reviews
"Affecting. This moving tribute to religious pluralism will uplift children." - Wall Street Journal,
"Red and Green and Blue and White is a wonderful story about standing up for what is right, supporting others and respecting differences. Excellent illustrations complement the text. This is an important book for parents to read with their children and for teachers to share with their students."-Glenn Perrett, Syndicated Columnist, Metroland Media,
"We come together in strength. It's a message the world can use, throughout the year." -The New York Times,
"Wind's pitch-perfect text is elegantly spare, accessible on many levels, and lyrical enough to invite multiple read-alouds. Caldecott Medalist Paul O. Zelinsky's gorgeous art captures the magic of holiday lights in the night, and expresses the story's shifting moods - from playful, to briefly worrying, to heartwarming. RED AND GREEN AND BLUE AND WHITE is an important, inspiring story about the power of love to overcome hate, a timely and inclusive take on the Chanukah theme of light overcoming darkness, and a strong contender for the Sydney Taylor Book Award."-Sydney Taylor Schmooze,
[STAR] "A powerful and inspiring example of community, friendship, respect, and love."-School Library Journal (starred),
[STAR] "Vibrant and compassionate. [A] spirited picture book that models allyship."-Shelf-Awareness (starred),
"[A] moving tale about community solidarity."-Foreword Reviews,
"The true meaning of the holiday season shines here." -Kirkus Reviews,
"Vibrant and compassionate...Wind and Zelinsky's offering gives young readers an inspirational, empathy-building story about honoring your identity and standing up against hate. Stronger together, indeed." -Shelf-Awareness,
[STAR] "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),
[STAR] "Caldecott Medalist Zelinsky's vibrant digital art has the bold, rough-hewn textures of scratch block, and dramatic compositions that recall sweeping cinematography emphasize fraught emotions in this moving historical tale that encourages taking a stand."-Publishers Weekly (starred),
[STAR] "Captures the celebratory joys of the season. "-The Horn Book (starred),
