New from Murmin Books
A Story of Memory, Family, and Tradition
One summer morning, six-year-old Jackie discovers a candle burning in a glass—something he has never seen before. His father explains that the glass holds a yahrzeit candle, lit each year in memory of Jackie’s Grandpa Jack.
Through warm stories and gentle conversation, Jackie comes to understand the life of a good man—his kindness, his hard work, and his love for family. He learns that even the simplest things can carry memories from one generation to the next.
For children, parents, and grandparents who know that family stories become treasures when they are shared.
