Books with author Leslie A. Kimmelman

Celebrate the festival of lights with this board book edition of Leslie Kimmelman's popular picture book. Just right for preschoolers, this charming Hanukkah story beautifully introduces several holiday traditions, including lighting the menorah, reciting blessings, playing dreidel games, and more."Simple text and jovial watercolors convey the warmth and fun of a family's Hanukkah celebration. Each turn of the page brings a new night of the eight-night holiday and highlights different traditional customs [while on] each double-page spread a menorah [adds] a candle-counting exercise to this playful presentation of holiday customs and activities." —BL.

A first-person text invites older siblings to make a book all about themselves being a new big brother or sister. Encourages the child's interest in the baby but emphasizes what it means to the older child and how they now see themselves. Fully-illustrated pages help a kid create an album of his/her experiences, feelings, and perspectives--with good helpings of fun and silliness. Includes two pages of stickers to decorate pages and add to drawings. Though its tone is lighthearted, this subtly wise book inspires a child to discover a wide variety of ideas about self, family, growing up, and the new baby.
