A parent would reach for this book when they want to share the tactile, sensory joy of a traditional holiday celebration through song and art. It is an ideal choice for families looking to introduce Jewish heritage to toddlers or preschoolers in a way that feels playful and festive rather than purely instructional. Through the eyes of a cheerful mouse family, children learn about the warmth of gathering for Hanukkah. The story follows a group of mice as they engage in the core rituals of the Festival of Lights: lighting the candles, dancing the horah, spinning the dreidel, and sharing a meal of latkes. Susan L. Roth's unique collage illustrations provide a rich visual texture that mirrors the layering of family traditions. Because the book is based on a well known song, it offers an easy entry point for parents to use music as a tool for bonding and memory-making, fostering a deep sense of belonging and cultural pride in young readers.
