## Caption

Hanukkah is almost here! We’re just a few days away from the “Festival of Lights,” a time where families come together to celebrate the miracle of the oil. Hanukkah is my favorite holiday, plus so many authors have written fabulous stories celebrating the occasion, so I thought I’d combine two of my favorite things. Hanukkah and books! These are a few of my favorite Hanukkah children’s books! 
‘Tis the season to start reading!
