A Telling Time by Irene Watts
In this tale, written in three time frames, a little girl hears her grandmother tell the remarkable story of how she visited her rabbi in the pre-war Vienna of 1938 to hear him recount the story of Purim from the Book of Esther. The entire biblical story is beautifully retold and the remarkable illustrations make this a book that belongs in every classroom and home.
