Sometimes it's okay to need a night light!
It's fun for Daniel to build and decorate a sukkah with his family, and to eat dinner with friends and neighbors, but he's a little nervous about sleeping in the little hut without a real roof. It's harder this year, because Grandpa has a cold and won't be with Daniel. His older sister, Naomi, seems so brave and keeps teasing him about being scared of the dark, but when night falls and the wind howls, even Naomi is a little afraid. Maybe they both need a night light.
Luckily, they can see through the holes in the roof to the magnificent night sky....
Realistic sibling relationships and the inspiration provided by the bravery of long-ago ancestors combine in this much-loved story about Sukkot, a weeklong holiday commemorating the forty years Israelites wandered in the desert. New illustrations lend contemporary appeal and a kid-friendly afterword explains more about the holiday and how it applies to peoples' search for shelter today.
