The Littlest Candle: A Hanukkah Story
An Association of Jewish Libraries Holiday Highlights Spring 2023 Selection
When Hannah's extended family isn't able to join her for their traditional Passover seder, she invites her diverse group of friends to experience the holiday with her. From Ha-joon's Korean kimchi, to Monique's hymn lyrics, each friend brings a bit of their own culture to the celebration. And with each guest the themes of freedom, hope, and thanks become more meaningful. A note tells the Passover story and a glossary defines vocabulary. Written with Deborah Bodin Cohen, illustrated by Mariia Kolker. Published by Kalaniot.

Little Flicker is always cheering his friends on with words of encouragement and support. But as the smallest candle in the box, why should he be chosen to be the shamash in the Hanukkah menorah? Isn’t the job of lighting all the others candles too big for him? As it turns out, it’s the size of your heart that matters, and in that department, Little Flicker is huge! Written with Rabbi Jesse Olitzky, illustrated by Jen Kostman, published by Kalaniot Books.
