Happy Book Birthday: PIPPA’S HANUKKAH HUNT Plus Giveaway

Posted on by

Welcome, dear friends! It’s always a pleasure to celebrate the launch of a new book with a Happy Book Birthday post. And today, my joy is unmeasurable…since the new book is actually one of mine!

When my editor asked me to write a sequel to the popular PIPPA’S PASSOVER PLATE, I was thrilled. And with talented illustrator Jill Weber on board again, I knew the book would be magical…and I was not disappointed! Every page bursts with color and action!

Join Pippa’s generous friends and neighbors as they come together as a community in this joyful companion to Pippa’s Passover Plate.

Filled with rhymes and repetition, this is a perfect title to share and read aloud as you celebrate your own Hanukkah festivities! Pippa loves everything about her Hanukkah latkes—making them; eating them; and most of all, sharing them! But when her ingredients go missing, Pippa’s dinner guests become Hanukkah helpers as she searches the whimsical winter landscape.

When a surprise twist brings the latke ingredients and new guests to her table, Pippa is thrilled to have gathered the most important ingredient for any holiday meal: a community to enjoy it with.

An end note explains the origins and meaning of the holiday—with special attention to everyone’s favorite traditions like chocolate gelt (chocolate coins wrapped in foil) and the game of dreidel (spinning top).

Just in time for Hanukkah, this joyful story will bring smiles to our youngest story lovers…and by following the illustration clues, kids will be eager to solve the mystery of the missing potatoes.

Please help this story about community, compassion, and kindness become a success.
You can:
Buy the book (the link is from Bookshop.org, but you can purchase it on Amazon or from your local indie bookstore)
Review the book (on Amazon or any other review site)
Tell friends about the book (share on your social media and TAG 2 friends)

    • Hi Jill,

      Your illustrations bring Pippa and her friends to life…I’m forever grateful to you for your talent…and for bringing the first Pippa manuscript to Mary Cash back in 2017…almost a lifetime ago, it seems! I’m looking forward to our upcoming book events…they will be fun!
