"A Seder and cowboy clothes are beautifully woven together." - Kirkus Reviews
Last year, Jacob and his family had been in Russia, but this year they were in the new land of Argentina. Jacob hoped his new friend Benito would join them for the seder. Would he? Could a Passover meal here, with cowboys, chickens, and horses, feel like home, too? Spectacular and painterly artwork brings the landscape of Argentina to life in this historically based, fictional story about a Russian Jewish family integrating into the community of Argentina. A family note at the end describes the compelling and true circumstance that led to this remarkable chapter of Jewish history.
