Sweet Tamales for Purim
by Barbara Bietz (Author) and John Kanzler (Illustrator)
Booktalk: A young girl and her new friend Luis plan to create a Purim festival for their town. Their plans for the celebration were well underway until the family goat, Kitzel, ate all of the traditional holiday pastries, Hamantashen. Fortunately, they find another way to celebrate Purim and the family is able to share their cultural traditions with their new neighbors. Inspired by a true event in 1886 when the Hebrew Ladies Benevolent Society of Tucson planned a Purim Ball for the entire community.
