The Jewish Telegraphic Agency has named Apples & Honey Hanukkah titles, Hanukkah Cookies with Sprinkles and Farmer Kobi's Hanukkah Match, two of the five best new Hanukkah books for children!
The lists consists of titles that will help families share blessings, friendships, and welcome guests through the holiday season.
About Hanukkah Cookies with Sprinkles
Sara watches from her apartment window as her mom goes to work. One day, she sees an old man pick up a bruised apple from the discarded pile next to Sol’s Market. Why would he do that? She wonders if he’s hungry, as she eats her own breakfast. She wonders if he’s lonely, as she shares Shabbat dinner with Mom and Grandma.
As Hanukkah approaches, a season of light and hope, Sara discovers that tzedakah can be as bright and colorful as a Hanukkah cookie with sprinkles.
About Farmer Kobi's Hanukkah Match
Farmer Kobi's well-mannered goats, donkey, and sheep know just how to play host, and they give Polly, Kobi's Hanukkah guest, a gracious welcome. But when Polly isn't sure animals belong in a house, what will happen next?
