Illustrated by
Kathryn Mitter.
Gabi and her parents celebrate Hanukkah with candle lighting, latke eating, and retelling the story of the Maccabees. Gabi is thrilled with her gift, a new tricycle. Riding it turns out to be difficult, but remembering the persistence of the Maccabees--and with help from her mother--she triumphs. The slim story is supported by serviceable acrylic illustrations showing the family's warm traditions.
