A Hanukkah Miracle

By Barbara Feltquate and Charlotte Ricker

An educational and entertaining children’s book, suitable for age’s five to eight. The story focuses on the rituals and traditions of Hanukkah explaining how the holiday is celebrated and why it is called the “Miracle of Lights”. The book consists of eight chapters. Each chapter represents one of the eight days of Hanukkah, with a cliff hanger finale, enticing the children to anxiously anticipate the next episode. The story involves an array of stuffed toy animals in the home of two young brothers. The animals are capable of secretly coming to life. They are enthralled by the rituals of Hanukkah they have observed secretly each night. The stuffed animals decide to hold their own Hanukkah celebration. The brothers discover their secret preparations. The story continues tying in the miracle of Hanukkah with a very modern day miracle of belief. As with Barbara Feltquate’s previous children’s books, her stories are not only entertaining but create an opportunity for further discussion to pass down personal stories and traditions. A Hanukkah Miracle holds timeless appeal.
