"The Troll That Stole Hannukah" by WonderSpark Puppets

It’s a Hanukkah emergency! When a fuzzy troll steals the Rabbi’s menorah, it’s up to the most unlikely person to overcome monstrous challenges to get it back. This extremely silly Hanukkah tale is about mindfulness, making friends, empathy, and problem solving.
