Young Esther has earned a special gragger (whirling noisemaker) by
delivering charitable gifts on Purim, a Jewish holiday based on the
story of Queen Esther. Now she is ready to carry her gragger in the
festive Purim parade! Like the legendary Queen, Esther displays
courage and wit when an older bully tries to steal her gragger. The
lively cast of characters quibble and carouse in a bygone world of
warmth, surprise, and generosity. There is even a parade for
children only. The appendix helps readers understand the history of
Purim, how it is celebrated today, what a "gragger" is, and how to
make a simple noisemaker. Following the award-winning The Dreidel
That Wouldn't Spin, author Martha Seif Simpson and illustrator D.
Yael Bernhard have again created a new toyshop tale of playful
language and images that hint at ancient roots and hidden meanings,
which are just waiting for young readers to find. This is a tale
ideal for reading aloud for fun, but also for learning.
