Renowned author Penninah Schram frames the story of Purim within a tale about a modern-day child who dresses up as Queen Vashti for the holiday and teaches everyone an important lesson about this often overlooked character. Tammy L. Keiser's warm illustrations visually bring to life the vividness of Schram's writing. This is a touching work that educates children about the history of Purim in a unique manner.
