From a pop-up master and an acclaimed poet and author comes a gloriously original celebration of the true spirit of Chanukah.

Open this beautiful gift book and follow the Festival of Lights through place and time – from Herod’s Temple to a shtetl in Russia; from a refugee ship bound for America to an Israeli kibbutz. Inspired by Michael J. Rosen’s reverent poem that shows how "the menorah illuminates the rooms of history," Robert Sabuda’s striking pop-ups render the essence of a menorah in eight different scenes, using such imagery as desert tents, pushcart lanterns, olive trees, and a final panorama of skyscrapers, which evokes a Chanukah candelabrum.
