Wishing you all Happy Hanukkah.
Learn more about this Jewish holiday also known as the Festival of Lights here.
I can’t resist recommending one of my favorite children’s authors, Patricia Polacco, and her book The Tree of the Dancing Goat.
Trisha and Richard's grandparents, who are from the Ukraine and Soviet Russia, and their mother are living on a farm in the 1930s. They are enjoying their own Hanukkah preparations when they discover their Christian neighbors are too sick to cut and decorate their Christmas trees. They do it for them. Their neighbors thank them with a carved menorah. This heartwarming tale by Patricia Polacco is a family favorite.
