Illustrated by
Talitha Shipman.
A contemporary little boy named Judah tries to be the "best and bravest" brother (like Judah Maccabee, the hero of Hanukkah) for his baby sister--but she isn't interested in the block tower he builds, the cereal he offers, etc. When he needs a shot that will protect them both, he finds inner and outer courage. Colorful illustrations show a warm and loving family at Hanukkah.
