From Sydney Taylor Award winner and National Jewish Book Award honoree Laurel Snyder comes a warm, reverential, lyrical, and fresh read-aloud picture book about Hanukkah, perfect for the modern family.
In a dark,
dark
room,
one
thin
candle
wakes,
bursts
to life
Thus begins the first night of Hanukkah in one child’s home. But what does the light from the candle mean? What are the words everyone is singing? What will each of these eight nights hold? Family and friends, takeout dinners and flat tires, traditions new and old—it’s all part of this year’s timeless, timely holiday celebration.
