Arielle and the Hanukkah Surprise

Arielle has high hopes for this Hanukkah because she is old enough to light the candles. She soon becomes disappointed when family member after family member is invited to light all of the candles until the last day. She believes someone else will have the honor until she is presented with her own menorah, because the last day is also her birthday. As a December baby, I was thrilled to see this topic finally addressed. Holiday anticipation can be disappointing for all children, not just those with December birthdays. A great discussion books for parents and children.
