The Little Book of Hanukkah is a beautiful little book with everything you need to know about the Jewish Festival of Light. By the author of this booklet, Steven Zorn, the miracle of Hanukkah is briefly retold, also the blessings are recited in the book. All traditions are mentioned but there are also Hanukkah songs, games and recipes to enjoy. There is room for a lot of information in this cute little book!
Ben Cain's beautiful, moody illustrations have an almost graphic feel. The colours are sober but atmospheric and match the text beautifully. This stunning small book also makes a great gift for children and adults, whether you are Jewish yourself or simply interested in other cultures and their celebrations.
A nice book if you want to know what the Hanukkah festival means to Jewish people. After reading it you understand where the celebration comes from, what exactly is celebrated and how. A beautiful and educational little book!
Three beautifully shining stars for The Little Book of Hanukkah, from all the snazzie-readers, young and older!
