Book Reviews of Hanukkah Moon
Book Review: Fun book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Reviewed by Brianne Plach (age 10) for Reader Views Kids (10/07)
Have you ever heard of a Hanukkah Moon? You probably have heard of Hanukkah, but are you aware that there is a moon by the same name? Well, of course, the moon is just a plain moon. But what makes it special is that it comes at the same time as Hanukkah.
Deborah Da Costa has created a beautiful picture book for children with a lot of details about this Jewish holiday. The illustrations by Gosia Mosz add to the delight of the storyline about a visit to Aunt Luisa's house. Aunt Luisa has just moved from Mexico. The explanation of Rosh Hodesh, and its meaning for women, is explored. This is an excellent way to explain some of the traditions and origin (how it started) in an easy-to-understand manner.
The next time you look at the moon around Hanukkah, think that you are looking at "Hanukkah Moon."
Summary of Hanukkah Moon
When Isobel is invited to Aunt Luisa s for Hanukkah, she s not sure what to expect. Aunt Luisa has recently arrived from Mexico. At Aunt Luisa s you ll get to celebrate the Hanukkah Moon, Isobel's father promises. Isobel s days at Aunt Luisa s are filled with fun and surprises a new camera, a dreidel piñata filled with sweets, and a mysterious late night visit to welcome the luna nueva, the new moon that appears on Hanukkah. An unusual Hanukkah story with a multi-cultural focus, this title celebrates a little-known custom of the Latin-Jewish community.Jewish Books
