CDJLibrary | Nov 8, 2023 |

Each year, the Ugandan Abayudaya community has a sukkah decorating contest. Competitive Shoshi hopes her family will win. After a storm wrecks one sukkah, all the neighbors help rebuild it, and Shoshi learns the value of people coming together. Illustrations are in bold folk-art colors and patterns. Informative backmatter included. (Sydney Taylor Picture Book Honor) (
