One crescent moon glows in the sky. Two headlights shine through the window. On each magical night of Chanukah, a young boy and his sister count more lights shining all around them! Join them as they discover what it means to celebrate Chanukah in a world filled with so many other lights. And look carefully at each of Melissa Iwai's delightfully playful illustrations, in which an ever-growing number of cats and cleverly hidden objects serve as reminders of each day's joyous Chanukah celebration! This gentle and fun-filled exploration of the meaning of Chanukah reminds families everywhere that the warmth of the holiday extends far beyond the menorah.

"On the sixth night of Chanukah, my family takes a walk down the snow-covered streets. And guess what? Six other houses have menorahs gleaming in their windows!" "On the seventh night of Chanukah, at my best friend's house, where he celebrates Christmas, a lamp with just one bulb burns in each window --- seven altogether, just like in our menorah tonight. Dad says that Chanukah is also about the joy of different religions sharing a street."
