Tamar is proud of her beau­ti­ful sukkah, but she feels that some­thing about it isn’t quite right. She decides to make some spe­cial dec­o­ra­tions. She needs help hang­ing them up, so she asks an old­er friend. He is glad to help but thinks a wel­come sign would make the sukkah even nicer. He needs help writ­ing the Hebrew words, so he asks an old­er friend. She is glad to help but feels a table would be the per­fect addi­tion. She needs help car­ry­ing it, so she asks an old­er friend. Soon the whole neigh­bor­hood joins togeth­er to help make the sukkah a beau­ti­ful, warm, wel­com­ing place where all can cel­e­brate the hol­i­day with joy. The les­son is basic and light­ly taught with a healthy help­ing of fun. Not­ed illus­tra­tor Kather­ine Janus Kahn adds rich­ly col­ored art, evoca­tive of the sea­son, filled with hap­py chil­dren enjoy­ing their won­der­ful shared project. A note at the end tells more about the hol­i­day and its origins.

High­ly rec­om­mend­ed for ages 3 – 8.
