About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking about the 'why' behind holiday rituals or when you want to strengthen the connection between your family's modern life and its historical roots. This collection is a bridge between generations, offering a warm and accessible way to explore Jewish identity through the lens of a loving grandmother-grandson relationship. It is an ideal choice for the Hanukkah season, providing a nightly ritual of storytelling that feels both sacred and cozy. Over the course of eight nights, Grandma tells Karen and her brother stories that range from the historical miracle of the oil to personal anecdotes about their own family history. These tales emphasize that miracles can be large historical events or small, everyday moments of kindness and connection. The language is perfectly suited for children aged 6 to 9, offering enough historical detail to satisfy their curiosity while maintaining a gentle, bedtime-appropriate tone that fosters a sense of belonging and pride in one's heritage.
