Why read it?
1 author picked The Very Best Sukkah as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Jewish community of Uganda comes to life in this book.
In addition to being a story about family and tradition and the importance of community, it is a look at a community that most readers will have little familiarity with. The illustrations alone transport the reader to a place that is different and at the same time familiar as the message is one that hits home no matter where you live.
From Erica's list on illustrated stories that are Jewish&.
