Brave Like Esther: A Purim Story

This fresh and fun picture book modernizes the story of Queen Esther that is recited each year during the joyous Jewish holiday of Purim. While many traditional stories emphasize Esther's "extraordinary" bravery, this humorous and inspiring retelling focuses on Esther as a regular girl with lots of big feelings and reminds all kids that their ability to be courageous and confident is just as extraordinary. They too can choose to be heroes in their own lives by facing their fears and speaking up for what is right. Jaunty first-person verse by best-selling author, Rebecca Gardyn Levington combined with lively and colorful illustrations by Asya Aizenstein will have readers laughing out loud.
