An Afternoon for Kids with Ruth Behar on A Snowy Hanukkah for Luz

Presented In Partnership with Books & Books

Join us for an afternoon at The Hub Miami in partnership with Books & Books, where we’ll welcome children’s author Ruth Behar to celebrate the release of her newest picture book, A Snowy Hanukkah for Luz.

Touching, joyful, and wondrous, A Snowy Hanukkah for Luz is a new modern Hanukkah classic in the making, as both Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions take center stage as Luz helps her family prepare to celebrate the Festival of Lights. Amid the backdrop of snow, latke-making, and grocery shopping, readers join Luz in learning about the holiday traditions, their history, and symbolism.

This book is best for children ages 4 to 8, but all are welcome to join us for our first ever children’s book event at The Hub!
