The Story of Queen Esther

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Grizelda Holderness. Koralek faithfully retells a condensed version of the Bible story of Esther and how the Purim holiday came to be. Suspense builds in all the right places until the wicked Haman is punished and the Jews are saved. Holderness's richly colored pastel illustrations decorated with Persian-inspired motifs enhance the well-told tale.
