The Book of Candles: Eight Poems for Hanukkah

Laurel Snyder
$16.99 $19.99

From Sydney Taylor Award winner and National Jewish Book Award honoree Laurel Snyder comes a warm, reverential, surprising, and fresh story of one very special Hanukkah.

In a dark, dark room,

one thin candle

wakes, bursts to life

Thus begins the first night of Hanukkah in one child's home. But what does the light from the candle mean? What are the words everyone is singing? What will each of these eight nights hold? Family and friends, takeout dinners and flat tires, traditions new and old--it's all part of this year's timeless, timely holiday celebration.
