Amazing Menorah of Mazeltown w/ illustrator Neil Shapiro December 13, 2009

Let's celebrate Hanukkah! Neil Shapiro, illustrator of the children's book "The Amazing Menorah of Mazeltown," will be reading signing and doing festive drawing activities.

"The Amazing Menorah of Mazeltown" is about Mazeltown, in the Cry-Me-a-River valley. It was a dreary village on the dark, cold days leading up to Hanukkah. Just as the holiday was to begin, Molly and Max stumbled on a most curious object in a dim corner of their father's junkshop. It was old and grimy, but after they polished it a most amazing menorah emerged, a menorah that, night by night, changed Mazeltown---brightening the streets, whitening the sheets, lofting the bagels, making the river glow with life and lighting up everyone's heart. This is a magical book with gem like pictures beautifully complimenting the story.
