This is a beautiful, reverent poem for each night of Chanukah highlighting journeys of the Jewish people. Robert Sabuda's paper engineering captures the essence of each portion in intricate detail. I loved looking for the menorah flames at each turn of page.
This book serves to honor, introduce and peek a person's curiosity about celebrations, traditions and history.

Happy Chanukah everyone. Be sure to check out Michael Rosen's poem, illustrated with some brilliant paper engineering by Robert Sabuda. Lovely and meaningful.
Kylie (age 8) gives this book 5 stars because the pop ups are amazing!
Beautiful! Coolest pop-up book ever!
Turning each page of this work of art reveals a new astonishing 3-D scene. Breathtaking. It absolutely demands to be shared.
