WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING.
“A wonderful, whimsical book that takes the focus off the gifts and puts it on the actual meaning of the holiday. What can children learn from the Maccabee’s struggle for religious freedom? What qualities or virtues did they possess that made them so special and strong? This book encourages children (and their families) to think what it takes to stand up for yourself.”
