Growing up in Guatemala, my favorite room of the house was my father’s library. The books I read over the years are as much a part of my self as the blood and bones and living tissue in my body.

This year, HRM chose a collection of eighty illustrated books about nature as Luca and Olin’s Hanukkah gift. Their appetite for reading can only be described as voracious. And even when we are not reading to them, they often open the books and discuss them with one another.

Gracias mami, you are the light of Hanukkah for our family.

Happy Holidays!
