Stephanie Spinner is the author of Aliens for Breakfast (winner of the Texas Bluebonnet Award) and Aliens for Lunch, both with Jonathan Etra, Aliens for Dinner, and, most recently, Quiver, a novel for young adults. After a long career in children's book publishing, Ms. Spinner now writes, tends her garden, and reads with gusto. She lives in Manhattan and Pawling, New York.
From Booklist
K-Gr. 2. Owen is named the family's official Hanukkah candle lighter, and along with every candle comes a story. Grandma Karen tells about a girl who grows up to be a rabbi; a soldier who persuaded Jewish families to pray for the health of his wife; a young woman who earned enough money to buy her own horse. Spinner drops subtle hints (perhaps too subtle for the audience) that the characters in the stories are members of Owen's family, but by the end of celebration the links become clear--though no one is saying if the alien creature in one story is also part of the family. With seven stories to tell, the text is long, but the inclusion of the alien piece is a nice break from family lore, and familial warmth helps diffuse the sometimes rather earnest tales. Gouache paintings in framed borders further lighten the mood. Such whimsical pictures as a young Grandma riding into the sky on her horse and clever design elements help integrate the bedtime stories with Owen's happy Hanukkah. Ilene Cooper
