Celebrate the season with this historical fiction picture book about a young Jewish refugee’s arrival in New York City in 1938 on the seventh night of Hanukkah, which was also Christmas Eve. Luminous illustrations and the message of hope help us appreciate miracles of kindness. Great for ages 5 and up, especially as a family or group read-together.

Miriam Landis, at Island Books, plugged this very book—and several other Hanukkah gems—in the store’s Message in a Bottle journal this weekend!

(And I love the Eric Kimmel book, too.)
