Happy Hanukkah!
Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. Last year I recommended some great books but I thought I would suggest some more titles today....(if there is interest in last years titles use the search key to find Hanukkah books).
The Borrowed Hanukkah Latkes by Linda Glaser and illustrated by Nancy Cole is a sweet Hanukkah story about a family wanting to share the holiday with a neighbor. A wonderful story of love and sharing.
Hanukkah Moon by Deborah DeCosta and illustrated by Gosia Mosz is great because it is about Latin American Hanukkah traditions~ or at least the combining of the two. A perfect way to show a different perspective on this celebrations.
Eight Winter Nights: A Family Hanukkah Book by Laura Krauss Melmed and illustrated by Elisabeth Schlossberg is a new book that is more a book of rhymes to be read each night. A nice addition to a holiday celebration.
I have worked in books for most of my life, having started in the local library as a page when I was in High School. I worked for Barnes & Noble for many years first as a children's bookseller and then as a children's book buyer in their corporate office. I also worked for Scholastic books in their Book Club division. My favorite thing to do is to sit outside and read a book.
