    Sweet illustrations and simple language bring the holidays to life for the youngest of children.

    Candles on the menorah, ready to light! At Hanukkah, there are many much-anticipated rituals — latkes to eat, dreidels to spin, presents to give and receive, and shiny gold treats. Add some free-form fun, from shadow puppetry to singing and dancing, and you have a warm, truly child-friendly celebration.
    Clever illustrations with…sunny colors, charming compositions, and multicultural casts of characters.
    —School Library Journal

    The text is simple and soothing—“Hanukkah candles, shining bright. / One more candle every night”—while patterns as cozy as a patchwork quilt are featured throughout: the children are dressed in festive floral and plaid prints, and the candles they place on the menorah feature stripes, dots and curlicues.
    —Publishers Weekly

    A good introduction to Hanukkah for the very young, this title also captures the universal warmth and joy of holiday celebrations and will find an audience with families of many backgrounds.
