From Sydney Taylor Award winner and National Jewish Book Award honoree Laurel Snyder and acclaimed illustrator Leanne Hatch comes a story of Hanukkah both reverential and modern, told through eight unforgettable poems.



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.
