My daughter gave me a book of her drawings as a Chanukah present. I am supposed to write in the story myself.

Can you help me? Is this a queen or a princess? Who are those folks in yellow? Is that a cake in the middle? A castle? A cake of a castle? Oh, maybe it’s a chanukiah (a menorah)! And maybe some of you are better than me at understanding kids’ drawings.

Thanks and enjoy whatever holidays you are celebrating this week.

  1. Definitely a birthday cake.

  2. Mrs. S. says:

    I vote for a chanukiah. After all, the mother/queen seems to be holding a platter of latkes…

    And on that note, Happy Chanukah to you and your family!

  3. Ilana-Davita says:

    An important meal attended by princes and princesses? Aren’t they round a table with a big cake in the middle?

  4. Leora says:

    Mrs. S. yeah, those are latkes! Good eye.

    Hmmm, so far we’ve got two voting for a cake and one for a chanukiah.

  5. Batya says:

    It looks like a mother and children lighting the Chanukah menorah, drawn by a child who hasn’t internalized numbers yet.

  6. Hard to say, I think I am going to go with queen and eating cake with chanukah candles on top. Dunno. How old is she?

  7. Leora says:

    Aron, she’s six.

    Batya, you are brilliant. I asked her, and she told me it was a mama and her children lighting the chanukiah (she called it a menorah). And she is holding a plate of latkes, as Mrs. S. noted.

  8. What a sweet idea..I thought cake, then a menorah…I see you have your answer..

  9. That is a really interesting picture.

    ok before looking at the other comments, I’m gonna try to guess some stuff.

    The purple in the back looks like curtains by a window.
    Looks like the boy on the left his holding a dreidel.
    The lady on the right is holding a baby.
    The upper right corner is a airplane
    the upper left corner is something flying through the sky.
    Looks like a menorah on the table except that it’s only 5 parts.

    ok, now looking at the comments I see that it’s a plate of latkes the mother’s holding, I can see that.

    Your daughter did a great job, I’m sure your gonna save the book she drew for you.
