Annie leads her family on a nighttime journey around their farm to celebrate the first night of Hanukkah. At each stop along the way-the Old Log, Squeezy Cave, and Billy Goat's Bridge-Annie uses riddles (and potatoes) to mark old traditions and start new ones. They end up at Turtle Rock Creek, where they give thanks for the light and warmth (and potatoes) in their lives.
"Schnur and Schnur Fishman fill the family's sojourn with snappy banter (asked to reveal something he's afraid of, Dad replies, 'The federal deficit') while Steele-Morgan's outdoor scenes capture the chilly blue light of the season."
