Jeremy's Dreidel

Reach for this book when you want to nurture a child's natural empathy or discuss how to make family traditions inclusive for everyone. While many holiday stories focus on receiving, this gentle narrative highlights the joy of thoughtful giving and the importance of accessibility. It follows young Jeremy as he participates in a dreidel-making workshop, where he decides to use his creativity to solve a unique problem. By using dots of glue to create braille letters on his clay dreidel, he ensures his blind father can fully participate in the Hanukkah games. It is a wonderful choice for children aged 5 to 8 who are beginning to notice the different ways people experience the world. It provides a heartwarming model for how small, creative acts of kindness can foster deep family connection and communal belonging during the holiday season.
