Have you ever wondered how you would celebrate Hanukkah if it were in the summer? In this charming story, two cousins live on opposite hemispheres and always joke about which one of them is "upside down". There friendly rivalry results in a contest to see who has a better Hanukkah? Is it Noah with his Winter holiday or Nora with a Summer celebration? A cute story with adorable cartoon style illustrations prove that the cousins have more in common that they think.
