Sample text of story (The red text is where your personalized information would be inserted.): Jonathon Smith celebrates Jewish Holidays Jonathon Smith, of Wytheville, was excited because he was going to a Purim festival. Sarah, Jacob and Mary also looked forward to the holiday because during Purim you get to dress in colorful costumes and wear masks. Jon was thinking about what to wear when he remembered the biblical story of Esther, which explains why Jews celebrate Purim. Long ago, a wicked advisor, named Haman, convinced the king that he should destroy the Jewish people. Queen Esther and her uncle Mordecai were Jews who uncovered a plot against the king and saved the king's life. The king rewarded them by saving the lives of the Jewish people. To honor Mordecai, the king ordered Haman to parade the royal horses through the streets while Mordecai rode proudly. During Purim there are plays, gifts and games. There are always treats like hamantaschen, three-cornered cakes filled with fruit or poppy seeds. Sarah, Jacob and Mary looked forward to eating these special Purim treats. Since Jon couldn't decide what to wear to the Purim celebration, he thought, "What about dressing like a hero from Hanukkah?" Hard cover, professionally illustrated, 24 pages, deluxe 6" x 9" size.
