The Big Golden Book about Hanukkah, the Jewish Festival of Lights is beautiful. The American children's author Bonnie Bader tells kids where this festival actually comes from and what it means to Jewish people. She tells the old story of the Jews in Israel who were not allowed to profess their faith as they wanted by King Antiochus.
That king took their temple from them and destroyed the Menorah. Until the Maccabees - a group of Jewish soldiers - decided to take back the temple and build a beautiful new Menorah. Then a miracle happened...
