From snow on the ground to making applesauce and latkes to lighting the menorah, this sweet, lyrical story shows the seasonal and traditional ways we know Hanukkah is on its way.
The sweet, charming illustrations, many in double-page spreads, depict how the family works together to celebrate with food, songs, and a game of dreidel.
Barash’s rhythmic rhyming text provides young children with a good sense of this holiday’s customs, and the refrain, “Hanukkah is on its way,” encourages listener participation.
Warm, soft-hued illustrations of smiling rosy-cheeked people and creatures resemble those on old-fashioned holiday greeting cards.
Psacharopulo’s digital landscapes and doll-like characters are as sweet as can be.
A pleasant, visually appealing book for those focusing more on celebratory rituals than the religious aspects of the holiday.
