From the dust jacket:
Hanukkah in Alaska is unlike anywhere else.
Snow piles up over the windows. Daylight is only five hours long. And one girl finds a moose camped out in her backyard, right near her favorite blue swing. She tries everything to lure it away: apples, carrots, even cookies. But he just keeps eating more tree! It's not until the last night of Hanukkah that a familiar holiday tradition provides the perfect—and surprising!—solution.
Featuring one especially stubborn moose and the northern lights as the best-ever menorah, this is the story of a family celebrating Hanukkah, Alaska-style.
