Hanukah is coming and Sam has made a menorah in his class at Hebrew school. Sam is excited to celebrate with his family, but don’t they have too many menorahs already? Sam keeps his menorah a surprise while hoping to find a way to make his gift special and not just another to add to the crowded collection.

Hanukah and the traditions that accompany it are taught in an original way by this story about Sam and his menorah. Readers both familiar and unfamiliar with the holiday will find themselves entertained and educated.
