Papa has promised to bring home a perfect etrog for Sukkot from his journey across the sea. Leah and Aaron go to the docks every day to wait for his ship.

Reviews

"This book reinforces the importance of Jewish traditions and family for Jewish children at a time in America when there is rising anti-Semitism." --Children's Literature

"This touching story, written by two rabbis, offers a glimpse into a lesser-known aspect of colonial America and celebrates the warmth of family togetherness. A homey, appealing holiday celebration."--Kirkus Reviews
