The Book of Candles

In a dark, dark room, one thin candle wakes, bursts to life. Thus begins the first night of Hanukkah in this home. But what does the light from the candle mean? What are the words everyone is singing? What will each of the nights to come hold?

Family and friends, takeout dinners and flat tires, traditions old and new—it’s all part of this year’s Hanukkah celebration.

In this lyrical collection of poems and artwork, National Jewish Book Award honoree Laurel Snyder and acclaimed illustrator Leanne Hatch present a story of Hanukkah that is surprising, fresh, and deeply resonant.
