In this delightfully inventive holiday tale, an elf named Shmelf takes
a journey from the North Pole . . . and discovers all the joys of
Hanukkah.
Shmelf is one of Santa's most important elves. He's part of the List
Checking department, and he makes sure all the good boys and girls get
their presents! But when Shmelf finds out that some children are missing
from Santa's list, he goes to investigate.
What Shmelf uncovers is Hanukkah, a wondrous and joyful holiday that
Jewish families celebrate each year. As Shmelf observes a family
lighting the menorah, playing dreidel, and hearing the Hanukkah story,
he sees how special the traditions of the holiday truly are--and he
wants to be a part of it! Luckily, Santa just might have a special role
in mind for Shmelf . . .
The rich traditions of Hanukkah come to life in this whimsical and
magical story that's perfect for the holiday season.
