Book Reviewed: Celebrating Hanukkah: History, Traditions, and Activities – A Holiday Book for Kids by Stacia Deutsch

The story of Hannukah Hanukkah is a great time to enjoy traditional games and food with family. And it is also the celebration of an ancient miracle. The book offers a simple outline of the holiday's origins, lighting the menorah, playing dreidel, and eating latkes and other traditional delicacies. The story should have emphasized more about the messages about friendship, kindness, tolerance, and inclusiveness. This book briefly touches upon the holiday practices in a few countries but does not make connections about inclusiveness of other races and cultures specifically in Asia and Africa.
