Hanukkah Welcome for Dancing Dreidels

  • Flintridge Books and Coffeehouse 1010 Foothill Blvd La Cañada Flintridge, CA 91011 (map)

Special story time at 10:30am with Alva Sachs, award-winning children's author! Fun with Hanukkah and dreidels!

Gather around, come one, come all as we explore the magical side of a special Hanukah tradition. Alva Sachs, author of Dancing Dreidels will be here to read her story to all of you!

Dancing Dreidels* is a delightful story of  Rebecca and her four favorite dreidels, Sheila Shin, Gail Gimmel, Harry Hey, and Neil Nun. Rebecca waits for this holiday every year when the family gathers to celebrate. The smells of yummy foods fill the air. Singing, dancing, and the lighting of the menorah take center stage, until it is time for the dreidels to spin for the evening’s grand finale. But, Sheila can’t stop falling down. Will Sheila be able to ‘dance’ at the Hanukkah party?

*A dreidel is a pointed four-sided spinning top, played with at Hanukkah.
