Esther's Gragger

A Toyshop Tale of Purim

Beschreibung

Young Esther has earned a special gragger (whirling noisemaker) by delivering charitable gifts on Purim, a Jewish holiday based on the story of Queen Esther. The creators of the award-winning "The Dreidel That Wouldn't Spin" present a new toyshop tale, and when an older bully tries to steal her gragger, Esther, like the legendary Queen, displays courage and wit. Full color.
