The Golden Dreydl (ages 8 to 10, $15.95) by Ellen Kushner explores the magical connection of family and heritage. Aunt Miriam chooses a special Chanukah gift that fits each child. Sara's gift is no exception, even if she does not see it at first. Mixing mythology, religion and whimsy Kushner shows the importance of this holiday. Sara's adventure is brought to life through Ilene Winn- Lederer's line drawings.
