“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 Aotearoa 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.

This warm, witty holiday story, illustrated by acclaimed creator Omer Hoffmann, shows that while there are countless ways to celebrate Hanukkah, family is what matters most.
