Lior and his parents welcome extended family and friends to celebrate Hanukkah with delicious food, candle lighting, and games. Mom explains the background of the historical events commemorated and the traditions Lior and his family observe. Newman succinctly touches upon family celebrations, Hanukkah's religious significance, associated blessings and holiday greetings, lunar calendars, recipes, and related crafts. Appended sections address the Hebrew calendar; Yiddish, Hebrew, and Ladino holiday greetings; additional historical details; two crafts; a recipe for latkes and applesauce; and a holiday quiz. Teplow's pastel-hued artwork takes care to depict diversity within the Jewish community. Depicted in a cartoon style, her characters are both enthusiastic about the holiday and accepting of the variety of traditions. Part of the Celebrations & Festivals series (2 titles), this makes a useful resource for young families and primary teachers.
