Multiple residents at the Juniper Court Apartment complex are celebrating their family traditions during the holidays. As each family begins their celebration, they realize they are missing an important component- a candle. As the candle is passed from family to family, children will learn about Havdalah, Saint Lucia Day, and Kwanzaa.
We enjoyed the vivid and detailed illustrations. The authors note at the end explains these traditions and what each holiday means as well as why they are celebrated. It’s an interesting and educational book for elementary readers. 4****

A multicultural look at how candles are used in celebrations as several families observe different holidays in an apartment complex. The treatment feels a tad contrived but is similar in concept to titles such as "Everybody Eats Rice." A supplementary title for holiday sections.
WINTER CANDLE is a gorgeously illustrated book. Stacey Schuett has done her drawings in deep rich colors that evoke the warmth of the story.
Ashford's story is appealing and the type of tale I liked to read to my children when they were younger. (They can read it themselves now :)
It's the story of a one-building neighborhood, where neighbors share and where all sorts of fall and winter celebrations take place. What ties all the neighbors together is their need for a light. Specifically, they need a candle, and it's a single candle that gets shared for a Thanksgiving meal, the Sabbath, St. Lucia's day and other celebrations.
I like books like this because they open up an opportunity to discuss how families are different and yet the same.
