One of the things I love about exploring different aspects of religious and cultural traditions through books is that there is room for non-fiction as well. In Allison Ofanansky's "Harvest of Light" (2008), we get to learn about the olive harvest in Israel through a young girl's participation in her family's traditions, how olive oil is made, and how all of this connects to the Chanukah holiday. Illustrated with beautiful photographs by Eliyahu Alpern, it's a wonderful book for curious children of any background! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #jewishnoodlenuts #noodlenutschanukah #harvestoflight #allisonofanansky #eliyahualpern #karbenpublishing #karben #oliveharvest #olives #oliveoil #israel #israelikids #menorahlighting #harvesttime #iteach123 #schoollibrary #iteachfirst #iteachsecond #homeschoolfamily https://www.instagram.com/p/B6JKCpnnDEX/?igshid=fkpq1s6m358o
