Readers can count the lights from the first through the eighth day of Hanukkah as a family celebrates, lighting one candle each night. The text conveys the warmth of gathering with family and sharing the joy of the holiday with neighbors. The colorful paintings clearly capture the mood and the numbers. The spread for a ninth day abandons the counting but wraps up the season.
