Emily Jenkins

In 1912 on New York City’s Lower East Side, four-year-old Gertie wants to help her family prepare for Hanukkah. When Mama says she is too little to peel, grate, or fry the potatoes for latkes, Gertie has a tantrum and is sent to her room. She waits through the preparations until Papa draws her back into the family celebration and gives her a role in lighting the first Hanukkah candle.
