In this beautiful holiday book, a National Jewish Book Award–winning poet and a master of the art of paper engineering team up to render the Festival of Lights in eight remarkable pop-up scenes, remembering each night of Chanukah. From a temple that rises on its columns to a desert tent surrounded by camels, from a refugee ship bound for the New World to an Israeli kibbutz, and finally to a city whose skyscrapers form a menorah, Robert Sabuda gives us elaborate and remarkable moving sculptures in white paper, accompanied by Michael Rosen's words for each night, for readers of all ages to share the spirit and resilience of a people in search of home.
"This is no ordinary pop-up book ... Sabuda's intricate and inventive paper engineering is a little miracle in keeping with the miraculous oil of the event that Hanukkah commemorates.... A stunning achievement."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
