Young Esther has earned a special gragger (whirling noisemaker) by delivering charitable gifts on Purim, a Jewish holiday based on the story of Queen Esther. Now she is ready to carry her gragger in the festive Purim parade! Like the legendary Queen, Esther displays courage and wit when an older bully tries to steal her gragger. The lively cast of characters quibble and carouse in a bygone world of warmth, surprise, and generosity. There is even a parade for children only. The appendix helps readers understand the history of Purim, how it is celebrated today, what a “gragger” is, and how to make a simple noisemaker. Following the award-winning The Dreidel That Wouldn't Spin, author Martha Seif Simpson and illustrator D. Yael Bernhard have again created a new toyshop tale of playful language and images that hint at ancient roots and hidden meanings, which are just waiting for young readers to find. This is a tale ideal for reading aloud for fun, but also for learning.

While consciously noticing ourselves in the moment, we allow ourselves to remain present and to manifest a new experience with our loved ones. This book is an expression of unconditional love and gratitude. Loving the tangible "now" distracts an old pain. I love deep imagination and words of positive influence. We live in an emotional world and when that emotion is expressed creatively, I believe that we manifest love, healing and hope.

Up in the Sky was written for my daughter Claudia as I could not find a gentle and sensitive way to explain to her the loss of our babies, and all the emotions that we are going through as a family.
It is very hard for us as parents to grieve when there are other children in the family, often it is so hard not to cry and we cannot always hide our emotions from them, sometimes it is best to show them that it is ok to be sad as well.
Up in the Sky is aimed for 3+ years, it is a sweet story in rhymes that tells us about a family that unfortunately did not get to meet their new baby. A mother and a father who struggle to hide their tears in front of their child, a child who did not get to be a big sister after all.
Beside the sadness, they still find the way to imagine a wonderful world for their little baby to live in and to love it from afar.
