The Golden Dreidel


By: Ellen Kushner / Illustrated by: Kevin Keele

A great miracle happened there.

Sarah doesn't like Hanukkah. It's not even an important holiday. But no, it's off to the big family party for lots of boring dreidel games. Then mysterious Tante Miriam shows up and gives Sarah a gift that will turn her entire holiday on its head—a golden dreidel that becomes a princess, captured by the Demon King!

Sarah will have to call on all her courage and every last ounce of her wits in order to rescue the princess and save the day. This rollicking adventure steeped in Jewish folklore and tradition will delight youngsters both excited and reluctant about the holidays.

When Max and Sophie, whose family celebrates both Christmas and Hanukkah, discover that the holidays co-occur, as they do in 2024, their initial concern is their gift haul. But when both sets of doting grandparents arrive, they’re swept up in the joyful preparations that unite this extended family. “The Golds made latkes and applesauce,” Breskin Zalben writes; “the Feathers made sweet-potato pudding and turkey.” Phuong’s glowing scenes of domestic togetherness take readers throughout the cozy house as the families light the menorah, then the Christmas tree, and share the tales and treats of both holidays. There’s no December dilemma in this comfortable-feeling work, just “a world that felt good, safe, and full of love.” Characters are portrayed with various skin tones. An activity, recipe, and author’s note conclude.
