Podwal tells of the creation of the first menorah and how it became the eight-branched lamp with the "servant light" used to celebrate Hanukkah today. Freely drawn color illustrations light up this gracefully told story, which provides readers with a new perspective on the holiday and its symbols. An author's note provides additional information.
