A Hanukkah with Mazel

By Joel Edward Stein and Elisa Vavouri

Misha, a poor artist, has no one to celebrate Hanukkah with until he discovers a hungry cat in his barn. The lucky little cat, whom Misha names Mazel, inspires Misha to turn each night of Hanukkah into something special. He doesn't have money for Hanukkah candles, but he can use his artistic skills to bring light to his home—as Mazel brings good luck to his life.

[lycomayflower · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A young painter living alone finds and saves a cat and they share Hanukkah together. Lovely.
