The menorah on the first night.
Yummy latkes to represent the oil which lasted for eight nights.
On the fifth night, we celebrate that there is more light than darkness.
The seventh night, shining brightly.
The beauty of all the candles glowing on the eighth night of Chanukah.
Magical image as the candles burn down on the last night.

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.

Thanks! They were good but not crispy enough. I made them a different night but forgot to take pictures but they were extra crispy and delicious!

Less egg and flour / more potato, onion, and oil seems to be the trick.
As long as the family is happy, that’s all that matters.
