Illustrated by
Amanda Hall.
Eight varied Jewish stories, mostly from Eastern Europe with some of Hasidic origins, are smoothly retold. Several are spiritual, while others, like "Clever Rachel," have more secular content. The handsome presentation mixes full-page and spot mixed-media illustrations on pages with lavish borders. Back matter includes a "Signs and Symbols" guide and story sources. A CD narrated by actress Debra Messing is included.
