Hanukkah in Little Havana

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Kindergarten

Celebrate Hanukkah with Family!

Every December, a little girl in Virginia looks forward to receiving a crate of oranges from her grandparents in Miami, but this year is even better. The family is taking a driving trip to visit Nonna and Nonno in Florida! At Nonna and Nonno’s house, they pick grapefruit and oranges under the sun. They dance the salsa and play in the waves at the beach. Best of all, they celebrate Hanukkah together. The girls help Nonna make latkes, and buñuelos stuffed with almonds and guava jelly. It’s eight days of light and love.

“Aguilera’s tropically hued illustrations exude the heady joys of a warm climate, holiday home cooking, and unconditional love.” —Publishers Weekly

“Vivid­ly col­ored, high-ener­gy illus­tra­tions and stereo­type-break­ing grand­par­ents com­plete a deli­cious pack­age. Now all we need is a recipe for buñue­los: a fried Hanukkah pas­try in South Amer­i­ca and the Caribbean.”―Jewish Book Council
