Arthur Levine, "The Hanukkah Magic of Nate Gadol"

By Watchungbooksellers

Meet Nate, a new larger-than-life holiday hero in this Hanukkah storytime with Arthur Levine!
Nate Gadol is a great big spirit with eyes as shiny as golden coins and a smile that is lantern bright. He can make anything last as long as it is needed, like a tiny bit of oil that must stretch for eight nights or a small lump of chocolate that grows to allow the Glasers to treat their children over the holiday.
This charming holiday hybrid story offers a mythical, magical take on the way Jewish families came to give and receive gifts over Hanukkah, just as their Christian neighbors do at Christmas, thanks to a loving spirit named Nate Gadol working behind the scenes—together with a certain jolly old soul.
