Holiday Shmoliday
by Lynne Elson

Samson is forced to find a “cool” Chanukah song for his choir to sing or else the school bully will beat him up.

At first Samson is reluctant to celebrate his Jewish roots, but with a surprise visit from a magical Dreidel Man, he goes on a journey exploring other cultures' celebrations of the holidays.

Through his travels, and with the help of his pet fish, Gefilte, Samson gains self-confidence and finds a new respect for his heritage.

He finally returns home, equipped with an original holiday song, and faces the choir bully.
