Illustrated by
Karla Gudeon.
Eight haiku, one for each night, describe Hanukkah traditions. Pages in graduated sizes turn to reveal one lit candle at a time, while folksy paintings show family members celebrating. Ziefert packs in plenty of information, and the brief lines encapsulate the festive spirit. Gudeon's art incorporates dreidels, musical notes, and Jewish symbols to create a beautiful tapestry.
