Happy Hanukkah! 10 Read Aloud Titles for Hanukkah

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know a lot about Hanukkah, I grew up in a small town in (fairly) rural, western PA. We had only a few kids in our school that didn’t look like me, and we knew no one who celebrated Jewish holidays. So, take this holiday list with a grain of salt, there may be better options out there (which I’d love to know about!). I took a look at a number of Hanukkah booklists available online and chose the titles that I thought looked not only interesting, but also were an accurate representation of the holiday and the religion.  Happy Hanukkah!
