This story is about sharing and kindness in a time of heavy snow and an important holiday that celebrates the overcoming of tyranny and a miracle for the oppressed. When the family is without the means to make the traditional foods and has little provisions for themselves, they take in and care for two starveling animals. When the final day of celebration comes, the snow stops and the potatoes for the latkes and a few apples to make sauce are found only because of the small animals. Included at the end of the tale is the original tale of the oil supply that lasted beyond reason. The illustrations by Kris Easler are clear, brilliantly colored, well executed, and visually informative. Every public and school library needs a copy as well as the usual gifting! I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Charlesbridge via NetGalley. Thank you! no reviews | add a review
