Description



About the Book



"Even though Santa knows some things--like Oliver's friend Ibrahim also doesn't celebrate Christmas--Oliver loses his patience when Santa doesn't fully appreciate Hanukkah customs. Especially latkes! Helping people understand Jewish traditions is a never-ending job!--



Book Synopsis



A laugh-out-loud interfaith holiday story celebrating Jewish joy, friendship, and the beauty of every tradition!

Enjoy this heartwarming and hilarious holiday picture book as Jewish, bi-racial Oliver Overstreet teaches Santa that Christmas and Hanukkah are not related--at all!

Oy, Santa! shines as a festive story that celebrates Jewish pride and tradition, sprinkled with laughter, friendship, and inclusion. With a friendly nod to Muslims who also don't celebrate Christmas, this book is perfect for families, classrooms, and libraries seeking a fun, timely story about respecting differences and building bridges between traditions.

Starred Review - School Library Journal
"A highly entertaining holiday book that will be popular with readers of all ages. Verdict: Highly recommended for all collections."

2025 Children's Book Council Favorite Award Winner

Reader Praise:

"The holiday book we didn't know we needed."
"Had me smiling throughout. Great for kids as well as adults."
"Perfect for those celebrating either (or both) holidays."
"A fun read. I wish I had this book as a youngster."
"I read this book and instantly ordered multiple copies to give as gifts to friends."

Ideal for:

  • Interfaith families building shared holiday traditions of menorahs and mistletoe
  • Grandparents looking for a gift to entertain and spark conversation
  • Teachers and librarians promoting diversity and empathy (Teacher Guide available)
  • Anyone who believes the holidays are brighter when every tradition shines

Bring home a story that celebrates connection, kindness, and the light of every tradition this holiday season. Ollie would like that.



Review Quotes




"A witty exchange of letters between a Jewish boy and Santa Claus that promotes religious understanding. . . . [An] informative, funny book . . . for readers of all faith traditions."--Spirituality & Practice

"Cheerful cartoony illustrations . . . include seasonal motifs and clever details. The Jewish family's varied skin tones, along with other non-Christmas observers and diversity among the elves, are added pluses for representation."--The Horn Book Magazine
