Chag Purim Sameach! Starting the evening of March 2nd, Jewish communities around the world will celebrate Purim—a holiday that commemorates how Queen Esther saved her people in ancient Persia. 👉🏻For me, this holiday has always been tied to books. I remember my mom reading sweet & festive picture books to me when I was little, and now I’m excited to pass that on. I’ve put together a list of many my favorite Purim stories that capture the joy, the costumes, and the traditions of the holiday! 📚MEET THE HAMANTASCHEN: A PURIM MYSTERY by alan_silberberg 📚PURIM PLAY by ronischotter 📚MAX’S MASK: A PURIM STORY by Havvah Deevon Illustrated by itaybekin 📚QUEEN ESTHER SAVES HER PEOPLE by ritagoldengelman 📚BACKYARD PURIM by kellyterwilliger 📚CAKES AND MIRACLES: A PURIM TALE by Barbara Diamond Goldin 📚PURIM MASQUERADE by Samara Klein 📚THE PURIM CHICKEN by cuyler.margery 📚JUST LIKE QUEEN ESTHER by kerryolitzky 📚PURIM BASKETS by nchurnin 📚PURIM POSSIBILITIES barbaraki...
