Review Detail

“The Light from My Menorah: Celebrating Holidays Around the World” by Robin Heald and Andrea Blinick is a beautifully illustrated tale about how the light from a Chanukah menorah lights up the night, travels through space, and sweeps across the desert and other parts of the world. There are many holidays in different cultures and religions that capture the beauty of light, from Diwali to Christmas to Kwanzaa, St. Lucia Day, and Loy Krathong, among others.

Light travels far, it travels fast, and it travels to many spots, but the beauty of light is within each and every person, no matter their means of celebration.
