The Happiest Hanukkah (PB) | Ivor Baddiel

so-so

Ivor Baddiel and Kathryn Selbert‘s picture book (part of a series on faith/ethnic holidays) explains what Hanukkah involves and why it‘s celebrated and Selbert‘s colourful illustrations bring the family bond to life. My only criticism is that I didn‘t quite understand why Leora was so intent on lighting the candle and why it was important to her but otherwise it‘s a solid way of introducing the holiday to young readers who are unfamiliar with it.
