Description

A boy makes a Braille Hanukkah dreidel for his father, who is blind.

Quick Summary

Jeremy's Dreidel is a warm, short Hanukkah tale about a boy who decides to surprise his blind father by crafting a dreidel they can both enjoy using Braille. The story shows Jeremy measuring, cutting, and learning a few Braille letters, which gives kids a tiny glimpse of how the tactile code works without getting overly instructional. It's perfect for early readers who love holiday crafts, and its upbeat tone makes it a good choice for kids who might be shy about reading longer books. Parents will appreciate that the book portrays a blind parent as capable and loving, while also sparking conversations about inclusion and helping others. If you enjoyed the gentle, kid-power vibe of "The Snowy Day," you'll find this one just as comforting and easy to finish.
