Hanukkah Upside Down

Written by Elissa Brent Weissman and Illustrated by Omer Hoffmann

"“You’ll have Hanukkah in summer? Talk about backwards.”
“Your Hanukkah’s in winter? You’re missing out.”

From their homes in New York and New Zealand, cousins Noah and Nora decide to have a competition. Winter versus summer: Who can have the world’s best Hanukkah? But as the eight nights of Hanukkah go on, the contest proves tougher than they imagined. Even as each cousin celebrates the holiday with their own unique traditions, they realize they have more in common than they thought."
