Simon and the Bear: A Hanukkah Tale

40 pp. | Disney/Hyperion | September, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4231-4355-0 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Matthew Trueman. Young immigrant Simon travels to America aboard a ship that sinks on Hanukkah. He gives another passenger his lifeboat spot and camps out on an iceberg. Sharing latkes with a polar bear pays off in body heat and fish; his Hanukkah candles catch the attention of a passing ship. Illustrations with frequent images of light in darkness evoke the Hanukkah spirit.
