Book Description

Sep 27 2011
From a pop-up master and an acclaimed poet and author comes a glorious celebration of the true spirit of Chanukah.

Open this beautiful gift book and follow the Festival of Lights through place and time — from Herod’s temple to a shtetl in Russia; from a refugee ship bound for the New World to an Israeli kibbutz. Inspired by Michael J. Rosen’s reverent poem, Robert Sabuda’s striking pop-ups depict each night’s menorah in a different scene, using imagery such as desert tents, pushcart lanterns, olive trees, and a final panorama of skyscrapers. Sure to be a treasured family heirloom, this stunning collaboration showcases the spirit and resilience of a people in search of home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Dec 14 2011
By M. Blatt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
As always, Robert Sabuda has created elegance personified with his intricate all white dimensional designs which are mounted against soft colors with designs illustrating the location of each scene. The text by Michael J. Rosen flows through the book as it describes the many places of Jewish settlement. And the flames of a Menorah can be seen in each scene, increasing by one light with each succeeding page-turn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Miss This Book. Dec 19 2011
By Jane P - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Adults as well as school-age children will find this book amazing. Not the typical pop-up for young children.
I bought this for my granchildren and I was amazed at the fabulous complexity of the pop-ups. Robert Sabuda has outdone himself on this one.
This is not the typical book on Hanukah. The text tells a beautiful story of all the places in the world that the Jews have observed the candle lighting ceremony.The pop-ups illustrate the journeys.
When I shared it with my adult friends their eyes filled up.That's how beautiful it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visually Stunning book Nov 17 2011
By A. Plaut - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is sure to become a treasured family heirloom. It is visually stunning and the pages come to life with the three dimensional pop up rendition of the beautiful poem. The pop up art is extremely delicate - a tiny monkey on one side came with its tail bent.
