Trade Review“A charming, modern Purim story that rekindles the wondrous legacy of Persian Jewry.”
—Rabbi David Wolpe, Sinai Temple, Los Angeles
“This enchanting story of a young girl who dresses up for Purim as a proud, Persian princess is sure to delight! With thousands of Persian Jews in diaspora all over the world, teaching our children about our proud heritage before it is lost is urgent. Like the keloocheh cookies and bright scarves in the story, Goldin presents Persian Jewish life as delicious and wondrous."
