The light from a menorah takes a young boy on a fantastical journey around the world to experience different festivals of light, and the people who celebrate them.Nothing brings communities together like the warm glow of a lamp or candle flame, illuminating people and the stories they tell. In The Light from My Menorah, a young boy celebrating Hannukah follows his menorah's light as it twists and turns in the night sky, carrying him to mountains, deserts, and even into space. On his journey he sees families from around the world sharing food and togetherness as they celebrate their own special holidays, lighting diya for Diwali, kinara for Kwanzaa, crowns of candles for St. Lucia Day, krathongs for Loy Krathong, and strings of lights for Christmas.
Illustrator Andrea Blinick's luminous mixed-media art creates a dazzling world filled with sparkling light and warmth, while Robin Heald's beautiful free-verse text evokes the quiet wonder of a holiday night. An author's note offers further information about Hanukkah, Diwali, Christmas, Kwanzaa, St. Lucia Day, and Loy Krathong.The Light From My Menorah, is a new book by Robin Heald, which lyrically emphasizes not only the light of her menorah, but how our world is filled with light, traveling from day into night and back again...as well as into the worship or celebration of other religions and countries.--Jane Yolen, author of Owl Moon, the How Do Dinosaur picture books, and 400+ other books
