Frannie is dubious when a neighbor, Mrs. Teplitzky, volunteers to play the evil Haman, but the family Purim play is a rousing success. The older woman is an actress and becomes Frannie's new friend. The lively text, matched with colorful illustrations, aptly tells the story of the holiday and a tale of friendship between generations.
