      About This Book

      A retelling of a Jewish folktale from Tunisia reminds readers of the first Chanukah and of Mattathias's bravery in protecting his faith. 
        "Once in a far-off village there nearly was a year without Chanukah. That year the rain was a stranger.  The parched earth grew only dust, so the olives shrank and withered on the trees.  Without olives, the villagers could not make olive oil to light their menorahs.
      "What can we do?" the villagers sighed.  "Chanukah is fast approaching, and we have nothing.  No olives, no olive oil, no Chanukah....." 
      A 2008 Sydney Taylor Honor Book awarded by the Association of Jewish Libraries.
