The books are formulaic and can hardly be considered high literature, but Zoe and some of her friends still love them! Earlier this year, Zoe and I (when looking through the titles of the hundreds published) discovered that there were no Jewish-holiday themed ones, and we decided to write our own story. And so, Hannah the Hanukkah Fairy was born.<\/p>\n<p>Zoe came up with the outline for the story a few months ago, and we&#8217;ve been slowly working on writing it ever since. (We put the finishing touches on it on Thursday night.) Working on the 1,500-word story, which Zoe shared with her classmates and teachers on Friday, was a lot of fun for me, and I hope for Zoe, too. And more importantly, I hope it teaches her more about creativity and innovation: If something doesn&#8217;t exist and you will really want it, then just go ahead and create\/build\/plan\/write it!<\/p>\n<p>-M<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Hanukkah-story.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-21453\" title=\"SONY DSC\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Hanukkah-story.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"403\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Hanukkah-story.jpg 403w, http:\/\/www.zoe.browdy.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Hanukkah-story-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a popular book series for young kids called Rainbow Magic; each book revolves around a different fairy (e.g. Cara the Camp Fairy, Stella the Star Fairy, Emma the Easter Fairy) whose magical objects have been stolen by the series&#8217; villain, Jack Frost.
