"Hanukkah Pajamakkahs" with Dara Henry

When Ruthie receives pajamakkahs for Hanukkah, she loves them so much she refuses to take them off. Will she be able to keep them spotless for eight whole nights?

Inspired by debut picture book author Dara Henry’s own three children ― who love to wear Hanukkah “pajamakkahs” but always seem to get into a mess ― "Hanukkah Pajamakkahs" is a fresh, silly read-aloud about togetherness and holiday customs. Not only is it the perfect way for families to celebrate the festival of lights, but it may also inspire them to create a new, special Hanukkah tradition of their own!

Dara Henry is a children’s book author living in Southern California. She has a master’s degree in elementary education and worked as an elementary school teacher for many years. While she no longer has a classroom of her own, Dara still finds joy in connecting with children and families, only now, she’s sharing her stories while visiting classrooms, synagogues, and bookstores all over the country.

When she is not writing, her favorite pastimes include being active in the beautiful California weather, spending time at the public library, and enjoying time with her husband, children, and three cats. Dara’s debut picture book, Hanukkah Pajamakkahs, was published with Sourcebooks Kids in 2024. Her second book, Mazel Tov, Baby! will be out in the world as of September 16, 2025, with Sourcebooks Kids. She’s honored and excited to share she stories with readers.

This is a Jewish Book Council Program.
