3 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Young Steve Satlow is thrilled when his hero Jackie Robinson moves onto his block. After the famed second baseman invites Steve to a Dodgers game, the two become friends. So when Jackie hears that the Satlows don't have a Christmas tree, he decides to give them one, not realizing the Satlows are Jewish. But Jackie's gift helps these two different families discover how much they have in common. Written by the daughter of baseball legend Jackie Robinson and illustrated by a Caldecott Honor winner, Jackie's Gift is a holiday tale-based on a true story-about friendship and breaking barriers.

Another #hanukkah and Christmas story! I REALLY enjoyed it!! It's about a holiday misunderstanding, learning and creating bonds between different cultures, and baseball 😊😊😊 It has some great nuggets of wisdom #tmskellington #wintergames #holidayread

Jackie Robinson‘s daughter writes the true story of how well-meaning Robinson bought a Christmas tree for his Jewish neighbors.

My elementary-age kids thoroughly enjoyed this sweet story of kind intentions and the joy of holidays.

#xmascountdown Day 18

In 1948 Steve, neighbor boy and BIG fan, tells Jackie Robinson his family doesn‘t have an Xmas tree. Jackie wants to make Steve‘s season bright by delivering one to his home. What Jackie doesn‘t know, is that Steve‘s family is Jewish and don‘t celebrate Xmas. But the gift is kindly accepted with humor & the spirit intended. Steve is excited to have both a 🕎 & a 🌲for Hanukkah. 😄 True story written by Jackie‘s daughter.
