He can make anything last as long as it's needed: a tiny bit of oil that must stretch for eight nights, a flower that needs to stay fresh to cheer up someone ailing, or a small lump of chocolate that grows to allow the Glasers to treat their children over the holiday--a miracle allowing them to share what little they have in a harsh winter when medicine is needed more than sweets. In this charming holiday story, well-known children's author and editor Arthur A. Levine pairs with award-winning illustrator Kevin Hawkes to offer a mythical, magical take on how 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 with a certain jolly old soul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArthur A.
