Eight Little Candles Plus One: A Hanukkah Tale

By Bruce Zortman

Eight little candles plus one, finding they are alone on the eve of Hanukkah after their family has been forcibly taken away, resolve to celebrate the holiday by creating a miracle of light to guide their family home.

"Eight Little Candles Plus One is a hauntingly beautiful fantasy, a touching invocation of a world that is lost but must not be forgotten. The tale transcends the distance of time and space through the magic of storytelling and revives the miracle of Hanukkah in a voice that speaks to young people. The poignant illustrations add a striking imagery that enhances the experience of the reader. This Hanukkah Tale is a wonderful contribution to the lore and literature of the holiday." - Rabbi Samuel Fishman, Bethesda, Maryland
