Please welcome my guest children’s book creator today, Bub, who created a list of 7 interfaith picture books.
Her book, Eight Fairy Nights, was born out of the desire to make Hanukkah meaningful and magical for her four precious granddaughters and two wonderful sons’ families.
Eight Fairy Nights by Bub
Eight Fairy Nights offers an immersive experience that takes the focus off the gifts and puts it on the actual meaning of the holiday. [picture book, ages 3 and up]

It’s wonderful to see these fun, loving, interesting and needed books. Congratulations to all involved. This book applies to my family and me, from my generation to down to my little second cousins. This would be wonderful to read to them and shape their understanding of how different faiths can be accommodated and supported in one family, before the world tries to convince them otherwise. These are NEEDED books. Please enter me in drawing. Stay well and creative, all!
