Morris Kaplan sells only the freshest and prettiest flowers in his shop. But he remembers a time long ago, when everything around him was dark and sad. Then one day he saw a bright yellow flower growing in an unlikely place. And that flower gave him hope. Morris hasn’t celebrated Chanukah since before the war, when as a young boy he lit candles with his family in Poland. But that’s about to change as two children invite him over to their home for Chanukah.David A.
