I thought this was an awesome example of a multicultural text, and definitely gave some insight to a different culture! The central message of this book is informing students of the Hanukkah tradition. The whole story is told through poetry, which I believe could leave some readers unclear of some information about Hanukkah, but luckily the book provides an excerpt after the book that summarizes why Jewish people light the candles on Hanukkah, what their tradition represents, and even some prayers they say along with the translations. I also liked that they incorporated additional aspects of Jewish traditions throughout the story, like food and language. I thought this was a really cool way to demonstrate the lighting the candles tradition throughout the story.
The illustrations are very fun and colorful, and would definitely catch the eye of a young reader, and it used layering page flaps that lit the candles one page at a time on a big menorah. What I really think is awesome about this book is the formatting of the pages. This was a great book describing all of the eight nights of Hanukkah, all in haikus. When the psychiatrist hands her a composition notebook (Harriet’s kryptonite), the kid can’t help but accept it, no matter how much her gut is telling her it’s a trap.This story stood out to me on the shelves because I am actually teaching a lesson about haikus in my internship next week! This is a poetry picture book for students 1st through 2nd grade. Harriet’s investigative, inquisitive nature is on full display in her session with Dr. In the new episodes, debuting May 5 on the streamer, Harriet’s nanny, Ole Golly, is around less and Harriet had a recent incident at school when her peers and friends read things that she said about them in her notebook.
