Antarctic Book Review: Menorah Under the Sea by Esther Susan Heller

Menorah Under the Sea by Esther Susan Heller is an informational picture book about a modern day marine ecologist celebrating Hanukkah by making a menorah out of sea urchins during a dive in Antarctica and later lighting a travel menorah to celebrate at McMurdo with other Jewish researchers. This is a good multicultural book for grades K to 2. This book also provides a brief introduction to diving in Antarctica and what questions researchers are trying to answer about sea urchins.
