When Skylar and her dads discover they forgot to pack a Hanukkah menorah for their winter vacation, Skylar's creative thinking saves the celebration with unusual and silly replacements.
It's fun to be on vacation, but Skylar is glad the family will also be lighting Hanukkah candles just like they do at home. But as the first night draws near, they discover that while they brought Hanukkah candles, they forgot to bring a menorah. With some quick creative thinking, Skylar improvises some highly unusual solutions for the first three nights of Hanukkah. The family is happy to get home to their regular menorahs while there are still a a few nights of Hanukkah left to celebrate. Yet while they love the warm glow of their traditional menorahs, do they really want to light the same ones every night? Maybe tradition can be changed a little.
Inspired by the author's own experience forgetting a menorah on vacation, this book also includes a guide for readers to make their own unusual menorahs.
