When Ruthie receives paja­makkahs for Hanukkah, she loves them so much she refus­es to take them off — for all eight nights. But as they get smeared and stained, splat­tered and smudged, Ruthie’s deter­mined to show her par­ents she can stay spot­less.

Hanukkah Paja­makkahs is a live­ly pic­ture book cel­e­brat­ing hol­i­day tra­di­tions, Jew­ish joy, the patience of par­ent­ing, sib­ling rela­tion­ships, and children’s fond­ness for pajamas.
