Atara loves to wear her crown – to the library, to the dentist, even to her swim lessons. It gives her confidence, and shows the world that she is a girl, not a boy, like everyone thought at first. But when Atara reads the story of Queen Esther, on the Jewish holiday of Purim – she realises that you don’t need a costume to express who you really are…

Reviews

Atara is clothed with strength and splendor; she looks to the future with joy. Like the Purim story itself, Atara reveals her powerful truth of self worth and holy pride to a world that is worthy of accepting her with love.
Rabbi Mike Moskowitz, Scholar in Residence for Trans and Queer Jewish Studies at Congregation Beit Simchat Torah
Groundbreaking. A powerful reminder that true freedom comes from embracing our true identities. Highly recommended for families, schools and communities
Lisa Stanton (Jewish Communal Professional and Parent Advocate for Trans Youth) and Maya Stanton (Jewish Trans Rights Activist)
A delightfully inclusive Purim tale.
