This book tells the story of Yoon, a young Korean immigrant. Yoon learns about Christmas traditions from her new American teacher. She comes home from school, very excited about what she has heard about “Mr. Santa Claus.” Her parents tell her that they are not a Christmas family. They insist that they will celebrate the same way that they did back in Korea. However, after Yoon begs her parents to let her hang a mitten for Santa to fill, her parents have a change of heart and allow her to hang her Christmas mitten. This is a story about immigrants learning to accept new traditions while still keeping their old ones.
