Why read it?

This inspiring picture book is based on the true story of a little boy whose family is the target of an anti-semitic incident during Hanukkah. The community responds not with aggression but solidarity, with hundreds of homes displaying menorahs in their windows.
This book illustrates the idea that kindness and faith can turn one light into many, an echo of the Hanukkah miracle.
The art by Caldecott Medalist Paul Zelinksy is powerful and gorgeous. Inspirational!
From Arthur's list on Hanukkah picture books for trying times.
