Illustrated by
Viviana Garofoli.
In this board book, yarmulke-wearing dad, pigtailed big sister, and strawberry-blond mother and son--plus cheerful dog--light candles, fry latkes, sing songs, spin dreidels, and pretend to be Maccabees, all shown in warm digital-looking illustrations. The "Hanukkah is coming" refrain, coupled with simple, child-friendly rhymes, is reassuring, and effectively builds anticipation for the Festival of Lights.
