In a palette that radiates the warmth and glow of the menorah's candlelight, Santiago Cohen walks young readers through the pleasures and traditions of this most cherished holiday. The text, based on a Hebrew children's song, serves as a counting book as well as a celebration of ritual and family. The traditions of Hanukkah unfold, one night at a time, until the eighth and last night, when all the candles are illuminated. --This text refers to the Board book edition.

Santiago Cohen attended art school in Mexico and holds a master's degree from the Pratt Institute in New York City. His work is widely shown in both individual and collective fine arts exhibits and his illustrations have appeared in newspapers and magazines
PreS. This attractive, square board book introduces Hanukkah to young preschoolers with a very simple rhyming text and clear line-and-watercolor illustrations. On each left-hand page the pictures show a family celebrating with latkes, dreidels, coins, and dancing fun. On the opposite page is the menorah with the shammash, the candle used to light all the others, and one or more candles added for each of the eight days. The candles are a colorful array of hues, and their flames are shiny cutouts. The rhyme is sometimes awkward, but the pictures are informal and fun, and the repeated chant ("Do you know the reason why? / It's Hanukkah tonight") will have kids joining in. Adults will need to fill in some background; it's the joy that's paramount here. Hazel Rochman
