Eight Sweet Nights, A Festival of Lights: A Hanukkah Story by Charlotte Offsay - Jewish Holiday Children's Book for Hanukkah Celebrations & Family Storytime

A warm and yummy Hanukkah-themed picture book about the joys of coming together to celebrate with family and food.

It's time to start counting sleeps—Hanukkah is coming! Shimmering, shining, sparkling. Eight sweet nights, a festival of lights.

Set in a cozy house full of latkes, applesauce, sufganiyot, and other Hanukkah holiday treats, this warm and emotional story highlights the importance and joy of passing along traditions from one generation to the next, and making new traditions too.

Children can also learn about the meaning of their holiday, with informative side notes on each page to give a brief explanation of words found at Hanukkah, such as Maccabees, hanukkiyah, shamash, and gelt. An afterword from the author provides even more historical background to the holiday, making this a book to take from the shelves year after year.
