Hanukkah story · ages 2-7A personalized Hanukkah book starring your child
Eight nights of candles, crispy latkes, jelly doughnuts and a cat named Latke who keeps stealing the dreidel. Each night your child helps light the menorah and hears the story of the little jar of oil that lasted. Then your little one notices a dark window across the street, where a neighbor is spending Hanukkah alone.
Your child decides to share the light, and when a snowstorm knocks out the power on the eighth night, the family finds out how far a little light can go. It's a warm, funny Hanukkah story told from inside a family that celebrates. Your child is painted into all 14 illustrations of this 32-page picture book.

Questions
Is the Hanukkah story respectful of the traditions?
Yes. It's written from the point of view of a child whose family celebrates: lighting the menorah with the shamash each night, the story of the oil, latkes, jelly doughnuts and dreidel, with warmth rather than lessons.
Will a printed copy arrive in time for Hanukkah?
