Hanukkah Picture Books


Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate

This is a magical book with dragons and unicorns but also about Hannukah.

I love how this book takes the reader through the eight nights of Hannukah. I love how this story begins and how it evolves. A wonderful story!  There is an author's note at the back with frequently asked questions about Hannukah. 

For Sophie and Max, things are different this year. The first night of Hanukkah falls on Christmas. So instead of celebrating the holidays separately, they blend the holidays.

This is a sweet story about blending holidays and families. I really enjoyed this story and seeing the traditions on both sides. The author's note has a history of the Dreidel, the rules of games, a recipe, and a history about the Jewish calendar.
