The Purim holiday has always been tied to books for me. I remember my mom reading festive & sweet picture books to me when I was little & now I’m excited to pass that on. I’ve put together a list of many my favorite Purim stories that capture the joy, the costumes, and the tradition of the holiday.

Here are my thoughts on NESHAMA, the beautiful Sydney Taylor Book Award-Winning #MGLit by @marcellapixley.bsky.social.
