Northern Lights: A Hanukkah Story:
This book is excellent. When a little girl can't be home for Hanukkah, she shares the story and traditions with her new friends. This book not only offers a bit of Hanukkah, but some Eskimo culture as well. The pictures are beautiful and captivating. Children will love it.
