About This Book

The crackle of matzoh fills the air as Sammy holds his crunchy part in the Passover play. At first, he feels small and overlooked, like a plain cracker among colorful characters. But as he learns the story behind the matzoh, Sammy’s heart swells with pride — and suddenly, his role feels just right.
