Reviews

A delightfully inclusive Purim tale.--Kirkus Reviews
Groundbreaking. A powerful reminder that true freedom comes from embracing our true identities. Highly recommended for families, schools and communities--Lisa Stanton (Jewish Communal Professional and Parent Advocate for Trans Youth) and Maya Stanton (Jewish Trans Rights Activist)
Atara is clothed with strength and splendor; she looks to the future with joy. Like the Purim story itself, Atara reveals her powerful truth of self worth and holy pride to a world that is worthy of accepting her with love.--Rabbi Mike Moskowitz, Scholar in Residence for Trans and Queer Jewish Studies at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah
