The Book Stall (811 Elm Street in Winnetka) is excited to host bestselling children's author Sarah Mlynowski on Sunday, December 15 at 2:00 pm for a special story time featuring her debut picture book, A Dragon for Hanukkah! This warm-hearted, magical, funny, and inventive story that celebrates Hanukkah and the power of a child's imagination is destined to become an instant holiday classic! Laura Numeroff, #1 bestselling author of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, called the book a "delightful, brightly colored celebration of Hanukkah." This event is free and open to the public and is perfect for kids ages 4 to 8.

More About the Book: On the first night of Hanukkah, my parents gave me a dragon... So begins Hannah's holiday adventure, as she receives eight magical presents -- one for each night. There's a playful dragon, a gleaming treasure chest, a time travel machine, some rowdy unicorns... and much more. But are the gifts what they seem to be? When Hannah gathers with family and friends to light the menorah, play dreidel, and eat delicious latkes, she'll discover the true magic of the Festival of Lights. Written with sparkling wit and wisdom, the book includes fun, accessible backmatter that defines key Hanukkah terms!

School Library Journal, in a starred review, says, "[A] story that will bring smiles to readers' faces as they feel the immense joy on every page with Hannah taking them through her magical world... A heartwarming story celebrating Hanukkah that is both cheerful and informational."
