[COMMUNICATED CONTENT] Chanukah is fast approaching, and with it, luminescent nights, joyous family get-togethers, and…long days of school vacation.

This year, Torah Temimah is proud to present a trio of terrific titles sure to entertain children and teens all Chanukah long:

Let’s Stay Pure, a charming—and essential—book for children ages 3-8, is the latest offering from Bracha Goetz, the Baltimore-based writer who’s become a household name in Jewish children’s publishing. Author of 25 children’s books, including the bestselling Let’s Stay Safe, The Invisible Book and Let Your Fingers Do the Mitzvos, Bracha Goetz is renowned for her ability to portray life’s deepest concepts in a delightfully simple way.

Let’s Stay Pure does just that—addressing the very timely concept of protecting our children’s purity. In 20 pages of breathtaking, full-color illustrations and enchanting rhyme, this volume instills in young readers the value of keeping their neshamos pure, through guarding their eyes and ears and learning to exhibit self-control in the choices they make.

Next on line is Choices.

 For the first time, Rochel Burstyn—a highly popular author whose short stories and features have captivated Jewish kids from all over, appearing in publications like Mishpacha Junior, Binah Bunch, Binyan, and more—has released a full-length book for children and preteens: Choices: An Assortment of Delicious Stories about Life’s Challenges.

 Packed with 24 dazzling stories that combine vivid characters, amusing plots, and important life lessons, Choices features a master storyteller at her best, and is sure to delight readers ages 8-14.

For preteens and teenagers, Torah Temimah presents a groundbreaking short-story anthology: Winners, a collection of the most outstanding entries from a first-of-its-kind teen writing contest.

In November 2012, Torah Temimah gave a shout-out to literary-inclined teens: Do you have a story to share? An untold message? A powerful essay?

The response wasn’t long in coming: Frum teenagers worldwide answered in droves, embracing the international writing challenge. From BoroPark to Boston, Los Angeles to Jerusalem, girls from across the globe put their best works forward, forming a multi-colored mosaic of powerful, passionate teen voices.

The result? Winners. Featuring memorable characters and intriguing plots that span continents and eras, and sparkling with creativity, humor and wit, this potpourri of real-life stories brings to the fore today’s burning teen issues: social angst, body image, sibling rivalry, acute loss, emotional isolation, stereotyping, and spiritual challenges.
