Thank you so much to Quarto Publishing Group and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

The story follows young Lior as he celebrates his families holiday Hanukkah, sharing with the reader the traditions, the meaning of the holiday and the joys of celebrating with those that he loves the most.

This was so sweet, it was told in an incredibly wonderful way, you could feel so much of the joy, the excitement and the love that Lior, his family and friends all had over the holidays. It was very educational in that it was sharing all the facts and information but it was told by Lior which made it so much more fun.

The illustrations were really beautiful, I loved seeing all the different aspects of this holiday and seeing what they looked like. I love getting to learn more about different religions and their holidays, this is a perfect read for children of this religion and not of this religion as they will learn so much from it.

I really enjoyed that the book shared the Hebrew language throughout but gave you the English explanation so you could learn the language and the meanings behind them. I liked that not only was the story wonderful, the end of the book was filled with of extra facts and activities that you could do to learn even more. It was a very insightful and wonderful read.

This Hanukkah book is gorgeous. I am always looking to add to our home library books about Jewish holidays. This one will be a gift for my children for the holiday.

The book itself is informative with dreidel rules for Israel and abroad, prayers and an emphasis on family and community. I especially like how the children give gifts of art they made rather than buying presents for the holiday.

Its illustrations are detailed yet simple. I especially like that they don't cover the whole page and give some blank space as not to overwhelm the words. What really makes my heart happy is the diverse representation of the Jewish characters. Jews don't all look the same and showing this is important.

Thank you for the advanced copy! This is my honest opinion.

Super cute & educational book for kids (maybe later elementary?) with activities, and a quiz on the last page! Love the representation and illustrations in this book!
