Red and Green and Blue and White by Lee Wind, illustrated by Paul O. Zelinksy

On a block dressed up in Red and Green one house shone Blue and White.

It's a holiday season that both Isaac, whose family is Jewish, and Teresa, whose family is Christian, have looked forward to for months!

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.
