Complicated, convoluted, drab.

This review is from: Night Lights: A Sukkot Story (Hardcover)
Night Lights by Barbara Diamond Goldin tells the story of two Jewish children a boy Daniel and his older sister Naomi, and their night in the Sukkah, the hut their family has built for Sukkoth, the Jewish harvest festival.
It tells of the Sukkoth meal, followed by the night of the two children in the hut, at first scared and scaring each other, they find comfort in each other and in the true message of Sukkoth and how G-D guided the Israelite Nation through the desert. A very special book for every Jewish child, with warm and loving illustrations. |
