This contemporary, intergenerational Hanukkah picture book that incorporates both Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions features text by Newbery Honor and Pura Belpré-winning author Ruth Behar and illustrations by Caldecott Honor-winner Marjorie Priceman.
Luz is helping her Abuelita and Abuelito celebrate the festival of lights, but it's going to take a miracle to get everything ready in time!
As Luz and Abuelita walk to the bodega for potatoes to make latkes, they talk about the miracle of Hanukkah-and the miracles that surround us. Each of the eight candles represents an everyday miracle like the kindness of community and the tradition of sharing stories. When snow starts to fall, it feels like the wonder of the holiday surrounds them and infuses their preparations and celebration with a special warmth.
In this joyful picture book, award-winners Ruth Behar and Marjorie Priceman have created a modern and accessible Hanukkah classic.
