A rollicking Hanukkah romp about including friends, accommodating differences, and having FUN!
Don't invite a bear inside for Hanukkah! While he might try to be helpful with decorating and putting candles in the menorah, he will start to cause a mess soon enough, especially when latkes, gelt and other holiday food is served.
But maybe if you think creatively, you can still celebrate the holiday together.
In this energetic, lighthearted story readers will learn about the preparations and traditions of Hanukkah. It's a Hanukkah tale about meeting new friends where they are, accommodating differences, being flexible and learning to celebrate even if things don't go exactly as planned. Leave your creature comforts behind and go outside into nature for a rollicking good time.
