“Jacqueline Jules’ stories about the Ziz–a fabulous and colourful mythical bird–are always among my favourites. In this one, she relates the miracle of Chanukah through the prism of a story that reads like a gorgeous fairytale, in which a lesson about sharing and generosity is handled with a lovely subtlety that never overshadows the narrative.”—Noodlenuts
Jewish Book World
“…the value of friendship, working together, and even Tikkun Olam are nicely woven into the story.”
Church and Synagogue Libraries
“Children will be captivated by the attractive pictures of the Ziz and will love listening to the tale, one that lends itself to reading aloud.”
Kirkus Reviews
“Jules incorporates the theme of sharing, as well as apologizing, in a droll version of a holiday tale.”
