“This book is the perfect intro for kids and adults into Hanukkah. I love that it isn't just the story but it also includes recipes, different ways people celebrate around the world, pronunciations, crafts, common phrases and so much more. It's perfect for me to give my husband who is Christian to help him understand some more customs and traditions and also show my kids how people in other counties celebrate compared to us. I loved it!”
“WOW! I was not expecting this to be so informative! I learned more about Hanukkah from this children's book than I thought I would. The information is great! The artwork is not that engaging for 6 year olds and is portably best for upper elementary school-aged children.I love how there is a table of contents that helps the reader easily go back to topics they want to revisit and I especially love how the author included the Dreidel game instructions! It's important to note that this author took such care when addressing the differences in the Jewish cultures around the world. This was not overly religious, but very informative, caring, and unique! I don't know of any other children's book that included recipes for favorite Jewish meals! Thank you to Stacia Deutsch and Callisto Kids for the privilege of reading an ARC of this publication!”
