Uri and the King of Darkness: A Hanukkah Story is a captivating children's book that blends the magic of Hanukkah with a tale of bravery and imagination
It's the first night of Hanukkah and Uri's dad is still not home. "What happened to Dad? Is he caught in the fray? Could it be that an elephant's blocking his way? Maybe the enemy soldiers attacked? Maybe, just maybe, he cannot get back?" While they wait for Dad's return, Uri and his sister battle the evil King of Darkness. Their courage and spirit bring the light of Hanukkah to the world around them. Nati Bait's lilting verse and Carmel Ben Ami's appealing illustrations make this a heart-warming Hanukkah favorite. Uri and the King of Darkness: A Hanukkah Story recieved starred reviews from School Library Journal and Foreword Reviews. A free downloadable activity guide that highlights the themes in this book is available on the Kalaniot Books website.Author Biography
