This picture-book tells the story of a terrible drought year, when the potato crop was decimated, and a small Jewish shtetl was running out of food, right around Hanukkah time. Tante Golda, known for her delicious latkes, is generous to a wandering beggar, despite her own poverty, and is rewarded in turn. I enjoyed the expressive artwork here and appreciated the story of the latke miracle, which parallels the miracle of the Hanukkah story itself.
