Author: Elka Weber
Illustrator: Adam Gustavson
Respect for the opinions of others and openness to learning are important themes of this story about a Jewish Yankee looking for a place to observe Pass-over shortly after the end of the Civil War. Keeping in mind the words from the Passover Haggadah “All who are hungry, let them come and eat,” a Confederate family offers him hospitality.
