Celebrate Sukkot with fall's arrival and the joy of tradition.
As autumn paints the world with pumpkins and colorful leaves, children are invited to explore the joy of Sukkot. This Jewish holiday celebrates the fall harvest and recalls the Israelites' journey through the desert. Discover the warmth of tradition and the beauty of building a sukkah, a temporary shelter, in this gentle tale. Will the spirit of Sukkot bring new understanding and joy to young hearts?
The first sights of fall arrive—pumpkins, gourds, and colorful leaves—and that means that Sukkot is almost here. Sukkot is the Jewish holiday celebrating the fall harvest and commemorating the time when the children of Israel spent forty years wandering the desert and living in temporary shelters (rebuilt as a sukkah during Sukkot). Soft illustrations and thoughtful gentle text pair for a charming invitation for children to celebrate the joyful holiday.
