The Purim story is wonderful. I loved learning about the Jewish Holiday of Purim and the significance of it. When you read this educational rhyming story you'll find out what evil scheme,Haman, minister to the King of ancient Persia had planned. The beautiful Esther was chosen to be the king's bride, but she was forced to hide a secret. She became the hero when her Uncle Mordechai told her about the minister's horrid plan. She set out to thwart the scheme before it was implemented. Esther became a hero for her clever efforts. You and your children will delight in this story. You will learn how the Jewish people celebrate the Holiday of Purim every year and what makes this day truly amazing. I highly recommend this beautiful book. Children will also love the colorful illustrations. You will also enjoy the helpful, easily understood glossary of terms,with which you may not be familiar.The Purim Story is another triumph for gifted author/publisher, Sarah Mazor! ( )
