Eight Nights of Lights: A Celebration of Hanukkah
Written by Leslie Kimmelman
Illustrated by Hilli Kushnir
Published by HarperCollins
Celebrate the eight nights of Hanukkah with this interactive, one-of-a-kind menorah and storybook set.
Each night, open a candle-shaped book and follow a young Jewish girl and her family as they decorate their home, say blessings, enjoy traditional foods and games, and gather to hear about the brave Maccabees and their victory that brought light to all Jews.
Flip the book over to “light” the candle and place it back in the menorah to commemorate each night of the Festival of Lights!
