A little girl shares her first experience of harvesting olives for Hanukkah. She is thoroughly excited that she gets to help her parents this year! This little girl has a lot to learn about the different stages of the olives (green and black). Some are picked to eat, for Hannukkah decorations, and to make oil. Which is which? The little girl finds out each step of the way.
This would be a great book for exploring different cultures. After reading this book to the class I would have them draw and label each stage of the harvesting process of the olives. They will draw and color their pictures and then provide one or two sentences describing each process in the labeling of the picture. Not only will this assignment show their reflection of the book, but it will also work on sequencing by the students showing the steps in the correct order.
