Lost and Found Hanukkah

40 pp. | Chronicle | September, 2025 | Trade ISBN 9781797216096 $17.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Anchin. Nate, who loves Hanukkah because “it’s always the same,” is sad about celebrating in a new apartment and without his menorah, which was lost in the family’s move. Visiting a Judaica store to replace it leads Nate and his dads to search for the store owner’s missing cat, Kugel. By getting to know the neighborhood, and eventually locating the cat, Nate starts to feel more ­comfortable with change -- and creatively solves his menorah problem. Warmhearted and precise watercolor and pencil illustrations show a loving biracial family helping to address relatable, kid-sized feelings. Appended with an author’s note and “Nate’s Save-the-Day Latke Recipe.”
