6 Picture Books for Hanukkah

Tonight is the third night of Hanukkah and I wanted to make sure I shared 6 Picture Books for Hanukkah – some newer titles about this Festival of Lights. I’ll be honest when I say because of where I grew up, I know very little about the Jewish faith. But, after moving to a more diverse area, I’ve since worked with and have friends that are Jewish. Hanukkah isn’t one of the larger celebrations in this faith, but because it falls near Christmas, I think it has become more popular in mainstream culture.
