The Moving-Box Sukkah

Reach for this book when your child is struggling to feel at home after a major life transition, such as moving to a new city or apartment. It is especially resonant for families who feel their traditional celebrations might be 'less than' due to space constraints or a lack of community in a new location. The story follows a young boy and his mother as they navigate the bittersweet reality of their first Sukkot in a small apartment without a yard. Through the clever use of leftover moving boxes, the characters transform their living room into a symbolic sukkah, blending ancient traditions with their current reality. This gentle narrative highlights the power of creativity and resilience, showing children that home and heritage are things we carry with us, regardless of our physical surroundings. It is a beautiful choice for preschool and early elementary children needing reassurance that change doesn't mean losing the things they love.
