When Zipper unexpectedly dashes out the front door, Alex and Mom scour the snowy neighborhood to find him. On their search they come across people of many cultures celebrating the holidays, and Alex discovers that everyone doesn’t celebrate the holidays the way he does. This story is so diverse. Alex learns about Hindu Diwali, Jewish Hanukkah, Latinx Las Posadas and African American Kwanzaa. When he returns to his own home, Alex enjoys a Christmas feast with Zipper and his family. Not only has he gained a new puppy, but he’s also gained a wealth of knowledge about his diverse neighbors. This book is not only entertaining but serves as a teaching tool. It encourages kids to be aware, accepting, and informed about different cultures, beliefs, and celebrations. Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book. My review was not influenced.

Young Alex is beyond excited on Christmas Eve. He knows that Christmas celebrates the birthday of Jesus Christ, and he cannot wait for tomorrow to come - he wants a puppy of his own to play with and love. On Christmas Day, he opens a large box with, yes, a puppy inside. Alex names him Zipper! However, when grandparents come bearing gifts, Zipper bounds out of the open door. Mother and Alex then begin a neighborhood adventure as they search for a runaway dog and meet neighbors with different winter holiday celebrations and traditions: the Hindu Diwali, the Jewish Hanukkah, the Latinx Las Posadas and the African-American Kwanzaa. Alex then returns home for a Christmas feast, happy with his new canine companion and the knowledge that his neighborhood is filled with amazing people who are more alike than different.

The colorful graphics compliment the tale as you chase around with Alex and his mom to find their new escapee puppy, meeting their neighbors as they go. Definitely promotes the friendly, positive feeling of this festive time of year, encouraging the acceptance of everyone who lives differently from yourself.
I enjoyed reading about the different festivities and the history of them myself, I found the language is very easy to read and understand if a child is reading it too. With the addition of the glossary at the back, Kelly Bouldin Darmofal has ensured that the story can be fully understood by anyone who reads it.
A lovely book promoting the different holiday festivities enjoyed by everyone. (
