Papa's Latkes

32 pp. | Candlewick | October, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-0779-7 $15.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Stacey Schuett. Helping Papa make latkes on Hanukkah, Selma mourns her mother's recent death but finds comfort in her father's gentle directive: "Mama isn't here, but we are. We can remember Mama." The sentimental story gives a narrow view of grief but provides a warm view of the holiday. The family portraitures are underscored with candlelit tones and the traditional blue color of Hanukkah.
