"Every Other Christmas highlights a modern family that is dedicated to keeping tradition alive. In this heartwarming story, we see that no matter where the main character is for the holidays, love from their family and love for their culture is always there." --Jessica DelVirginia, author of Rocky's Road to the Big City "You'll want to spend every Christmas with the diverse, delightful members of this family. Winkler's warm illustrations complement Otey's simple text, resulting in a celebration of love and traditions, no matter where you are." --Tracey Kyle, author of The Lucky Grapes "This beautiful book shows the young reader there are many ways to celebrate Christmas. But no matter who you celebrate with, what foods you eat, how you jiggle your feet, or what songs you sing, the main ingredient is always love. It is sure to become a holiday classic." --Janie Emaus, author of Latkes for Santa Claus
