Recensioner i media

Max and Emma are visiting sukkahs around their new neighborhood to celebrate the Israelites’ 40 years of wandering in the desert after leaving Egypt. Emma worries about her family’s sukkah because they didn’t decorate it—she doesn’t think she’s creative. But after exploring, the siblings are transported back in time to meet Moses and Betzalel, where Emma learns how to express her creativity. This heavily religious story will resonate with readers who share the faith but may not hold as much appeal for others. The colorful, lively illustrations pair well with text that blends storytelling and religious teaching. VERDICT Purchase where Jewish religious texts are in demand. --School Library Journal
