A family celebration of Hanukkah

Lior celebrates Hanukkah alongside a large family, giving this picture book a child’s-eye view of the festival’s customs and shared gatherings. Candle lighting, blessings, dreidel, and traditional foods sit alongside an explanation of the eight-day celebration and its connection to the Maccabees. The book also extends beyond the story with hands-on activities, including instructions for an edible menorah and a tzedakah box, plus a latke-and-applesauce recipe. Its combination of family scenes, cultural context, and practical projects offers several ways to explore the holiday together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children learning about Hanukkah and Jewish traditions
