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.

      A sometimes-forced rhyming text describes the lead-up to Purim, including the change in seasons and activities such as baking hamantaschen and making costumes. Simple, cheerful illustrations show family and friends celebrating. It's a useful introduction to many aspects of the holiday, including a brief reference to its origin ("When we read... / that Queen Esther's great bravery protected the Jews... / Purim is here!").
