Hanukkah at Valley Forge

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Greg Harlin. While the Revolutionary Army is encamped at Valley Forge, General George Washington comes upon a soldier, lighting Hanukkah candles, who relates the holiday's history. Working from a historical anecdote, Krensky expertly weaves some of Washington's own words into the invented dialogue. The framed watercolor paintings are suffused with soft light, as if illuminated by the candles.
