A beautiful Hanukkah story for all ages. The illustrations are vibrant and flow well with the story. Yitzi keeps trying to get everyone to listen to his ideas of how to thank the Mayor but since he is just a boy he is interrupted until the end. The ideas along the way have silly spins and leave you waiting for the final night to see the outcome. A book I will be adding to my Jewish Holidays collection.
