Illustrated by
Katherine Janus Kahn.
Young spider Sammy continues to learn about Jewish holidays, and in this book watches a human family prepare for the harvest holiday of Sukkot, eventually taking part himself. Reminiscent of the work of Eric Carle, the illustrations work with the text to explore directional words such as inside and outside, which fits with the holiday's reminder that "God is everywhere."
