On the first night of Hanukkah, Hannah receives a gift she never expected: a real, breathing dragon! As the Festival of Lights continues, each night brings a new, impossible surprise. From a gleaming treasure chest and rowdy unicorns to a literal time travel machine, Hannah’s holiday is becoming the most magical week of her life. But as she gathers with her family to light the menorah, play games of dreidel, and enjoy warm latkes, she begins to see her gifts in a different light.
This enchanting picture book celebrates the joy of the holiday through the lens of a child’s vivid imagination. Each night is a colorful adventure that blends traditional Hanukkah customs with whimsical fantasy. Are these magical creatures real, or is the true magic found in the stories we tell and the people we share them with? It is a warm-hearted and funny celebration of faith, family, and the power of pretending that will delight young readers and their parents alike.
