About the Book

Pippa's generous friends and neighbors help her create a perfect Hanukkah evening, which they celebrate together. Includes the story of Hanukkah.

Book Synopsis

Hanukkah will be here soon--but where are the ingredients for Pippa's latkes? Join Pippa's generous friends and neighbors as they come together as a community in this joyful picture book companion to Pippa's Passover Plate.

Note to friends: please come and eat.
Latkes are a yummy treat.

Pippa loves everything about her Hanukkah latkes--making them; eating them; and most of all, sharing them! But when her ingredients go missing, Pippa's dinner guests become Hanukkah helpers as she searches the whimsical winter landscape seeking generosity from her friends and neighbors who are all too happy to pitch in.

When a surprise twist brings the latke ingredients and new guests to her table, Pippa is thrilled to have gathered the most important ingredient for any holiday meal: a community to enjoy it with.

Filled with rhymes and repetition, this is a perfect title to share and read aloud as you celebrate your own Hanukkah festivities! An end note explains the origins and meaning of the holiday--with special attention to everyone's favorite traditions like chocolate gelt (chocolate coins wrapped in foil) and the game of dreidel (spinning top).
