Illustrated by
Maria Surducan.
On Erev Rosh Hashanah, an African American soldier leaves a tarnished horn with an antiques-store-owning white Jewish family for safekeeping; as the once-struggling family does good deeds, they prosper and the horn glows brighter. Despite its modern-feeling setting, this fable maintains the tone of a classic Elijah tale. Glowing, gold-tinged illustrations fit the story well. An appended note discusses Kimmel's inspiration.
