Review:

“'When Isobel is invited to Aunt Luisa’s for Hanukkah, she’s not sure what to expect. Aunt Luisa has recently arrived from Mexico. . .' (Kar-Ben)

A favourite of my own nieces (whose father is from South America), which has stood up to many, many readings, this unusual Chanukah story is a great introduction to the notion of Chanukah traditions from other parts of the world." --Noodlenuts
