Annie leads her family on a nighttime journey around their farm to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah. At each stop along the way―the Old Log, Squeezy Cave, and Billy Goat’s Bridge―Annie uses riddles (and potatoes) to mark old traditions and start new ones. They end up at Turtle Rock Creek, where they give thanks for the light and warmth (and potatoes) in their lives.
Why I like this book: Potatoes at Turtle Rock is a hanukkah book about the traditions and stories of hanukkah. It shows a family on a farm getting bundled up to light the menorah. It’s a simple celebration of hanukkah that offers an authentic portrayal of how a family might celebrate.
