Who is Nate Gadol? In this tale for readers 4 to 8, Arthur Levine offers a mythical, magical take on the way Jewish families came to give and receive gifts over Hanukkah, just as their Christian neighbors do at Christmas, thanks to a loving spirit named Nate Gadol working behind the scenes—together with a certain jolly old soul. Much as he did in Dogosaurus Rex and The Wicked Big Toddlah, Kevin Hawkes contributes witty and believable fantasy images. "Hawkes uses richly textured acrylic paints and eye-popping swirls of gold to create illustrations that are at once grounded and otherworldly…. A new, entertaining, and thoughtful addition to the Hanukkah canon."—Kirkus Reviews
