Synopsis
The story of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, takes readers back more than two thousand years in history. Understand why Jews gather to light candles for eight nights each year. Discover what a dreidel and menorah are for, and who the Maccabees were. Celebrated each year to remember the destruction and restoration of the temple, a war for freedom, and a miracle, Hanukkah is a special and important holiday for Jews around the world.

About the Author
Author Cathy Goldberg Fishman lives in Augusta, Georgia. She has taught elementary school, sold encyclopedias from door-to-door, run a daycare center, and owned a children’s bookstore.

She is the author of a number of books for children, including the Sydney Taylor Award Honor Book, On Sukkot and Simchat Torah, illustrated by Melanie Hall. Cathy and her husband, Steven, have two children. Although Cathy does not play baseball, she remembers going with her grandfather to watch the Atlanta Crackers play at Ponce de Leon Park. She now roots for the Atlanta Braves.
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-3-The first two-thirds of this book presents a simple history of the holiday, giving beginning readers a feeling for the events that took place. The last third of the text explores some of the ways Hanukkah is celebrated today and includes instructions on how to play dreidel. Sketchy watercolor illustrations show a multigenerational family enjoying various activities. Filling a need for material written at an easy reading level, Hanukkah does an adequate job of introducing children to the history and traditions surrounding the holiday.-M. A.
