The Miracle Jar: A Hanukkah Story

32 pp. | Tanglewood | October, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-933718-16-3 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lea Lyon. A family living in the "Old Country" prepares for Hanukkah. Like the Maccabees, the family doesn't have enough oil (cooking oil, that is) to last eight nights. How they stretch their supply to make a Hanukkah miracle is the heart of the story. Rich illustrations, though occasionally stiff, reflect the cold of winter outside and the warmth of celebration inside.
