The Yankee at the Seder

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Adam Gustavson. In 1865, a Jewish family in Virginia hosts an unanticipated Passover guest: a Yankee soldier. The "festival of freedom," here celebrated by people with conflicting beliefs but a common cultural history, has great meaning. This well-told tale based on actual events is accompanied by richly textured oil paintings. Endnotes provide more information about the real-life figures and the Passover holiday.
