The Blurb On The Back:
Leora loves everything about Hanukkah, the candles, the food … and especially Bubba and Zaida’s stories.
And this year she has a very special wish … but will it come true and make this the happiest Hanukkah ever?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Ivor Baddiel and Kathryn Selbert’s picture book (part of a series on faith/ethnic holidays) explains what Hanukkah involves and why it’s celebrated and Selbert’s colourful illustrations bring the family bond to life. My only criticism is that I didn’t quite understand why Leora was so intent on lighting the candle and why it was important to her but otherwise it’s a solid way of introducing the holiday to young readers who are unfamiliar with it.
THE HAPPIEST HANUKKAH was released in the United Kingdom on 7 November 2024. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
