Order "Hanukkah in Your Hands," newsletter anniversary, Asheville memories.

Sunday, November 7, 2021

Hi! I'm so grateful I had an extra hour today because I needed it! It has been a lot of work getting my new book, "Hanukkah in Your Hands," done. It's going to the printer tomorrow! Plus, the ebook is ready, I built a landing page and a fun playlist, and I'm partnering with Menschions to offer fun Hanukkah cards, more on that below.

I also realize it's the ONE YEAR anniversary of the first newsletter. I never thought it would last this long. It is a lot of work, but I love doing it, and hope you all like it, too! My first one was on November 8, 2020 about Clare Crawley's season of The Bachelorette and the election. 

And, so this isn't all about Hanukkah, I'm also including a doodle I made a few weeks ago about what I bought in Asheville. It was inspired by my retreat with Mari Andrew in North Carolina.

Enjoy!

If you're new to Danielle in Doodles, welcome! I publish this newsletter of my latest doodles and updates most Sundays, and you can see archives here.

Hannukah in Your Hands

I'm so proud of this book, my second one in a year! Hanukkah in Your Hands is an all-in-one modern and engaging guide to the holiday (which starts Nov. 28!). It has the rules, the story, recipes, fun facts, cartoons, illustrations, and stories. It's great for kids, adults, non-Jews... anyone! Get it as a gift or for yourself. I love it, and I hope you do, too. See previews below and order a print copy or ebook. Time to move it from my hands to yours. (If you already ordered the print edition, I'll ship it later this week! I can also do pickup in NYC and Philly.)

Hanukkah Extras

This book has been so consuming, that I couldn't make my own cards, but I wanted to offer them on my shop. And I found a company that has awesome ones. I'm now selling four of their cards on my site!

Menschions is a uniquely hilarious and adorable Jewish greeting card company that brings humor and heart to your favorite Jewish holidays! If you need wrapping paper or other gifts or want to see more cards, check them out here.

Playlist help!

I made a playlist for Hanukkah to go along with the book. But I'm stuck at 35 songs and want to have 36 for double "chai." Can you help me? Email me a suggestion, or any playlist feedback.

Traveler's Journal

Thanks for reading! If you live in Brooklyn, I am going to try to sell books at an Art Fair in Crown Heights on Thursday night. Email me to confirm. And email me if you know of any other Hanukkah events I can sell at or groups that might be interested. Just hit reply!
