Book Descriptions
for The Power of Light by Isaac Bashevis Singer and Irene Lieblich
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Eight original stories, one for each night of the Hanukkah observance, illuminate the power of good over evil and light over darkness. The Nobel Laureate's understated and reflective stories are religious in tone, yet universal in theme. The paintings illustrating each story are reminiscent of Poland and of stained glass, and add greatly to the volume's beauty and dignity.
