Bookroo's summary

As spring approaches, a family prepares for Purim, a festive Jewish holiday. They honor Queen Esther's courage in saving her people from Haman's wicked plans. With costumes, hamantashen, and the Megillah scroll, they embrace the joy and unity of this vibrant celebration. Will the spirit of Purim bring them closer together?

From the publisher

It’s nearly spring, which means it’s time to celebrate the cheerful Jewish holiday of Purim. Purim recounts the time when Esther, Queen of Persia, saved the Jews from the evil Haman, who wanted to execute the Jewish people. It’s a time to dress up in costumes, fill the hamantashen, swing the noisemakers, and read the Megillah scroll. Join a family as they celebrate the bravery of Queen Esther and the joy of being together.
