Hanukkah at Valley Forge
Illustrated by Greg Harlin
Dutton 2006

This story builds on an entry supposedly mentioned in a Revolutionary War era diary, 
in which George Washington related how he first heard about Hanukkah
during the hard winter at Valley Forge in 1777.

". . . Basing their story on a true incident (explained in an endnote), 
the team behind Paul Revere's Midnight Ride creates a thoughtful and touching 
book. The volume moves fluidly between the two time periods, infusing the scenes 
with urgency and intensity, and the portrait of Washington here is not only heroic, 
but human. An excellent reminder of the relevancy and importance of the holiday's 
message through the ages."
