Publisher's Synopsis
Eight little candles plus one, finding they are alone on the eve of Hanukkah after their family has been forcibly taken away, resolve to celebrate the holiday by creating a miracle of light to guide their family home.
"Eight Little Candles Plus One is a hauntingly beautiful fantasy, a touching invocation of a world that is lost but must not be forgotten. The tale transcends the distance of time and space through the magic of storytelling and revives the miracle of Hanukkah in a voice that speaks to young people. The poignant illustrations add a striking imagery that enhances the experience of the reader. This Hanukkah Tale is a wonderful contribution to the lore and literature of the holiday." - Rabbi Samuel Fishman, Bethesda, Maryland
