Little ones will love celebrating Hanukkah with C.J. Mouse and his new neighbors, the Katz family. THE MOUSE WHO LOVED LATKES by @jnwieder.bsky.social has a comforting classic feel. I adore the precious illustrations and sweet text! A lovely story sprinkled with funny & heartwarming moments! #kidlit
