Praise for The Light from My Menorah The Children’s Book Council “Hot Off the Press: September 2024” Feature “Emphasizing hope, beauty, and unity, this quietly powerful story demonstrates that people honor traditions in unique ways, while all are recognizing comfort and love as symbolized by light.”—School Library Journal “A glowing ribbon winds through the pages, providing a lovely visualization of the metaphorical light that different traditions all bring to the world....A shining paean to winter traditions around the globe.”—Kirkus Reviews “Hanukkah, Diwali, Christmas, Kwanzaa, St. Lucia Day, and Loy Krathong...are portrayed broadly in the work. A glimmering stream appears throughout Blinick’s layered digital artwork.”—Publishers Weekly
