This delightful photo essay follows an Israeli family as they harvest olives, press them, and use the olive oil to light their menorah. A Hanukkah story with a taste of Israel, as well as an environmental and ecological theme!
A Sydney Taylor Award Notable Book of 2009 "[A] wonderfully different Hanukkah book...Resonating with familial warmth and a shared purpose, this is a fine offering." –School Library Journal "The warm-hearted narrative is enhanced by its many photographs. Those that focus on the olive grove and oil-harvesting machinery help clarify the process. Other quieter and more intimate images depict a contemporary Israeli family enjoying their time together, busily at work and peacefully at home." –The Horn Book Magazine "Alpern's clear color photographs follow each step of the cycle, emphasizing how the family works together in these efforts and how they appreciate the beauty of these trees in addition to their bounty." –Booklist photographs by Eliyahu Alpern
