When Mindy Saved Hanukkah
by Eric A. Kimmel
illustrated by Barbara McClintock

Little Mindy Klein lives with her tiny family behind the walls of the Eldridge Street Synagogue. When Mindy's father sprains his ankle right before Hanukkah, he is unable to bring home a candle for the menorah. So Mindy decides to set out and find the candle herself. But first she has to face off with an enormous, frightening cat. With a lot of bravery (and a little help from grandpa) Mindy manages to save Hanukkah just in time. . . and learns the true meaning behind the Festival of Lights.
