EIGHT SWEET NIGHTS, A FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS A Hanukkah Story

Warm music welcomes young listeners who are preparing to light their menorahs--and any children curious about the meaning of Hanukkah. Emily Lawrence narrates this sweet children's audiobook with a bright and engaging voice. One story features a family gathering to share food and celebrate the first night of Hanukkah with their loved ones. Informative text explains Yiddish and Hebrew words, Jewish traditions, and more. Lawrence shifts between a softer voice for narrative and a more straightforward delivery of descriptive text, helping listeners young and old follow along with the story. The audiobook concludes with history about the origin of Hanukkah, more details on the many ways it's celebrated, and what the holiday can teach about justice.
