As a mom and teacher in the field of Jewish education, I always looked for a good book that tells the story of Chanukah. The children absolutely love this holiday and I wanted to combine the fun aspects of it along with the history and meaning behind it. I could not find one, so I wrote and published If the Candles Could Speak. After much time , effort and thought this is truly a product I am confident readers will benefit from.
The best part of creating this book is hearing how others have enjoyed the book. How it has helped them educate our youth. How our history can be exciting, hand-on, and relevant. So if you have purchased the book please feel free to share feedback on this page.
Here are some testimonials I have received so far:
"I was so excited to find out that a giant Chanukah book was published, after so far using it in preschool, a story hour and at Hebrew school I can not thank you enough for creating this incredible resource! Children of all ages are glued to the book and really anticipate learning about Chanukah! The sticker board is an incredible bonus and has really contributed to teaching the story in a very fun and exciting way.
As one of my colleagues put it, 'after borrowing your giant Chanukah book to teach my Chanukah lesson, my kids loved it! Now it's hard to go back to normal books after that. :) The children were glued to the book and really love its bright and brilliant illustrations. I highly recommend your book! It is a Chanukah must have!" - Devorah F.

"It is very impressive and on the web it is hard to see just how nice it is." - S.R.
"The classes really enjoy it. They like its size (being a big book) and the interactive component." Preschool teacher
"A treasure! I read If the Candles Could Speak to my second and fourth grade classes and all I can say is WOW! The effect was astounding- the kids were captivated by the illustrations and sat spellbound the entire time as the story literally came alive before their eyes. The text tells the story in a clear and concise manner, while the rich and detailed illustrations provide the perfect backdrop to stop and elaborate on details in the story. I have been teaching the Chanukah story for close to 10 years, and this was the best year yet! - C.S.
