What Do You See on Sukkos centers on observation, conversation, and connection—so families can read, discuss, and celebrate together.

Why this book stands out

Unlike generic holiday stories, this book is built around active looking and meaningful dialogue. Each page blends vibrant, kid-friendly illustrations with gentle prompts that guide children to notice details, name key symbols, and connect them to the traditions of Sukkot. It’s not just a story—it’s a hands-on learning experience that makes the season come alive.

What you’ll find inside

• Colorful scenes featuring the sukkah, lulav and etrog, vibrant decorations, and harvest motifs that capture the festive atmosphere of Sukkos.
• Engaging prompts on every spread that ask, “What do you see?” “What do you think is happening here?” and “Why is this part of the celebration?”
• Simple explanations of core terms like sukkah, schach, lulav, and etrog, helping families build vocabulary and religious literacy.
• Family-friendly dialogue cues that spark conversation between kids and adults, turning reading time into a shared learning moment.
• Use-case versatility ideal for read-aloud sessions, quiet time, Sunday school, or Hebrew school activities.

Who it’s for

Perfect for families celebrating Sukkot, this book also serves as a valuable resource for early childhood educators and Hebrew schools looking to introduce young learners to Jewish holidays through observation and discussion. It’s designed to engage children who are discovering the rhythms of the Jewish year and to give parents and teachers a fresh tool for meaningful holiday moments.

Use cases and practical benefits

• Bedtime tradition: a calm, imaginative read that naturally leads to questions about the holiday and its symbols.
• Classroom activity: paired with a hands-on Sukkah project or a scavenger-hunt-style discussion about symbols and blessings.
• Family learning moments: strengthens memory of what each symbol represents and why it matters in Sukkot observance.
• Preparation for Sukkot: introduces children to the rituals early, making the holiday feel familiar and approachable.

Practical tips for maximum impact

Read aloud with pauses to let kids point out details in the illustrations. Pause on each symbol and invite children to describe what they notice, then connect it to a simple explanation or a family tradition. Pair the book with a small, kid-friendly activities kit—decorating the sukkah or gathering lulav and etrog imagery—to extend the learning beyond the page.

What makes this a thoughtful gift

If you’re seeking a meaningful Sukkot gift that resonates beyond a single season, this book offers lasting value. It supports early literacy, cultural identity, and intergenerational connection—turning a holiday read into a memorable family moment that children will want to revisit every year.
