In Washington, D.C. during the Great Depression, Muriel invites a ragged juggler to celebrate Passover with her family. When he arrives, they are stunned to discover a magnificent feast to share with their neighbors. Based on I. L. Peretz’s “The Magician” and illustrated in the style of Marc Chagall, Kusel’s debut picture book will resonate with readers young and old. (Sydney Taylor Picture Book Award Winner)

Muriel assumes her family is too poor to hold a Passover Seder this year-- but an act of kindness and a mysterious magician change everything.

This retelling of I.L. Peretz's story (The Magician, Uri Shulevitz) is set in the spring of 1933 in Washington, D.C., where Muriel's family has been hard-hit by the Depression. Muriel, on her way home, is impressed by a street magician and gives him her only penny; when she arrives home, a miraculous Passover feast is there, along with a strange guest. Muriel's family invites their rabbi and neighbors, and though they forget to open the door for Elijah, his cup of wine is drunk.
