Book
The book of candles : eight poems for Hanukkah / written by Laurel Snyder ; illustrated by Leanne Hatch.
In a dark, dark room, one thin candle wakes, bursts to life. Thus begins the first night of Hanukkah in one child's home. But what does the light from the candle mean? What are the words everyone is singing? What will each of these eight nights hold? Family and friends, takeout dinners and flat tires, traditions new and old -- it's all part of this year's timeless, timely holiday celebration.
