Choice 1
The Hanukkah story, starring them
Your child travels back to ancient Jerusalem, helps restore the Temple, and finds the little jar of oil that burned for eight nights.
Eight nights. Their people. One little jar of light.
The miracle of Hanukkah, told with your child leading the way.
From one photo, your child becomes the hero of the Festival of Lights: helping make the Temple shine again, finding the one little jar of oil, and bringing the light home to your own menorah.

Published customer stories
“We just welcomed our first child, and in a few quick steps I was able to create a story starring our whole family. It couldn’t have been more intuitive. And after seeing how it turned out, I mean it when I say it: trust the process.”
Tyler S. · Created Trust the Process
“Making a book about me and my brothers was ridiculously easy—and seeing the three of us as the stars of our own story was even better. We couldn’t stop laughing at how good it came out.”
Eric H. · Created Three brothers great adventure
“My son-in-law made this for me about my two grandkids having a sleepover at Nana and Papa’s. I actually cried a little when I saw it.”
Lee P. · Created Jack and Riley have a sleepover at Nana and Papa

Good to know
Is this the same story with a different name?+
No. The story, people, traditions and spelling you choose guide an original book. Riley’s Hanukkah Miracle is one complete example, made by this same flow.
Is the Hanukkah story told accurately?+
The book follows the traditional story of the Temple’s rededication and the oil that lasted eight nights, told gently for young children: no battles or weapons on the page, a seven-branched Temple menorah, and eight candles plus a shamash at home.
Can we include our own traditions?+
Yes. Tell us your foods, songs, who lights the candles and anything to leave out. We use your details instead of guessing, and add Hebrew words or blessings only if you give them to us.
Can the whole family be in it?+
Yes. Your child is the hero, and you can add up to three more people or pets from your photos.
What will arrive?+
Choose a digital book, a softcover or a hardcover. A downloadable PDF is included, and you approve the complete proof before printing.
Is there a Hanukkah option in your general holiday book?+
Yes, but this book is made just for Hanukkah, with its own story and details. Families celebrating more than one holiday can use the holiday book.
Give them a Hanukkah story they’ll ask for every year.
